Well, if we're going to be off-topic, I've just discovered "kate" on my
Linux system. Now THAT is a nice little "editor". Side pane has a
directory listing from which I can click on a file. That file is then
brought into the editor. I can have multiple files in the editor in a
single pane or split (vertical or horizontal) pane view. On the bottom
is a terminal pane where I can enter UNIX commands, including other
applications (such as staying in a DB2 interactive session). Did I
mention that the editor has syntax highlighting for many file types and,
if needed, you can create you own syntax highlighting via an XML encoded
parameter file? I haven't tried that yet.

Before this, I was a "vi" user. Yes, I'll admit it <sob>.
