I use two pieces of software that depends on Motif; Nedit and mgdiff. I am already really close to replacing mgdiff with something that works better and uses GTK+. That just leaves Nedit and as much as I love Nedit, I can't imagine putting in the effort required to fix it, just for the sake of keeping Nedit. I actually think fixing lesstif/Nedit would be more difficult (and less enjoyable) than writing a new editor from scratch using Ocaml and lablgtk.
