On the one hand, crossedit is basically obsoleted, so I don't want to

On the other, if people want to do so, who am I to say don't do it.
I was thinking/hoping you'd say something like that. =)
Personally, I like crossedit better. May be my allergy to all things
java in general. If you want to maintain it, more power to you. If you
want to re-do it in gtk2, I might even step up to help.
I wonder how much is also force of habit - took me a while (and some code
changes) to get the java editor to the point I was willing to use it.
That said, java is very portable, so easier for those non unix people to use
it.
I suppose a gtk client would be easier to make to a windows port. And while
one side of me would sort of like the speed and efficiency of such an editor,
one side of me says I really don't want to see another such editor due to the
maintenance and support headaches it would involve (support for the deprecated
crossedit is headache enough).
That said, doing a gtk client probably wouldn't be really hard - layout could
be done with glade, and the fact it would be C would mean it can basically
re-use a lot of existing code (load/save code, display logic from client, etc).
But that's really not a road I'd want to see resources spent.
