My favorite text editor (bar none) at least for program code is Codewright.
But it isn't exactly freeware.  :)

I haven't upgraded it since version 6.5 and it looks like it has another new
owner and belongs to Borland now and is up to version 7.5.  But if this
editor doesn't do it, you probably don't need it.  Or if you do, you just
extend it yourself using any of serveral macros languages (simple API
sequences like a batch file, or more complex logic in Perl, Basic, or C).
In fact, CodeWright is the engine Paul Conte used for the Windows version of
Flex/Edit, although that was using older versions of the engine.

To keep in on-topic to the subject though, you not only have the cursor
row/col in the status bar, but you can turn on a ruler on the top of a
window with a shadow cursor to show the current position.
