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.
