That's a bit harsh, don't you think? If the man wants to make his own text
editor, let him! Locking people into one program is the Microsoft way of
doing things.

Live and let live, man. I use mostly medit and nano. I also occasionally use
SciTE. When I used KDE, I loved Kate.
I, for one, would be very interested in a text editor which:
-Is lightweight (pulls in few dependencies)
-Uses the GTK toolkit
-Has tabs
-Has syntax highlighting
-Is noob-friendly
-Optional: has a terminal (like medit and Kate)
-Optional: has color schemes (again, like medit and Kate)
Alexander, I'm the head developer of TinyMe Linux, a distribution which
seeks to use noob-friendly software which has as small a footprint as
possible. I'll take a look at your text editor and if I like it, I'll look
at putting it in TinyMe. So I can get you testers if you'd like. :-)

Maybe that's true for you and the distribution you use, but it's certainly
not true for me. (I'm on a Mandriva-based distribution.) GEdit is one of the
heaviest GTK text editors. With dependencies, it's 20MB. Most other text
editors are 3-5MB.
