QScintilla is a class just like QTextEdit or QPlainTextEdit with many more
methods to manage text files supporting multiple lexers. Basically it
replaces
underlying document handlling and editing widgets of Qt. Nothing more...

No. As said earlier, to write wrappers to this class I need it be part
of hbQT anyway. All alone it can only be used in a restricted manner.

If I base hbIDE on top of it, only then it is useful. Otherwise one has to
write wrappers for it in Harbour and have to exploit it directly, but how,
I do not know.

It is not an alternative to hbIDE. It can be an aid to it, and more so,
if some more exotic features we wish to include in hbIDE. For example,
code folding and line wrapping etc.
Anyway the whole subsystem of user interaction has to be build on
top of it and through the container widgets. This itself, like other Qt
widgets
only provide class/methods hirarchy.
