I'm looking for a quality WinForms component that supports syntax highlighting, code folding and the like. The key criteria are:

1) Stability 2) Value (price) 3) Ability to easily customize syntax to highlight 4) Light weight

ICSharpCode.TextEditor is free and pretty stable.
As for commercial solution Actipro's SyntaxEditor might be a best choice

SnippetCompiler http://www.sliver.com/dotnet/SnippetCompiler/ uses ActiPro for its editor, too.

Try out ScintillaNET it's a .NET WinForms wrapper around the excellent Scintilla control. Scintilla itself is a free source code editor component that is very customisable and has all the features you asked for. See here for a screenshot.

The only problem with ScintillaNET is that you'll have more unmanaged dependencies to pull Scintilla in.
