Sciboo is a ScintillaNET-based programmer's editor. It is implemented in Boo,
which is a new statically-typed .NET language with type inference, which looks
rather like Python. It's very much the younger brother of SciTE, with a similar
tab-based interface. SciTE features like bookmarks, matching braces, and
abbreviations are supported. Any .NET language can be used to write plugins,
and I've included a few useful ones with this release. One that is particularly
useful for browsing large projects is a ctags extension, which uses the tag
files generated by that excellent tool, Exuberant Ctags.
Sciboo already knows how to compile/run many languages like C#,Boo,Python,C++,
and Fortran, and should be able to style any language supported by Scintilla.
The 'Open File in Document' is reasonably intelligent, and can handle C and
Fortran includes, simple Python import statements. It knows about HTML hrefs
and can jump to them if they're local, so it's a useful HTML editor as well.
My working version of ScintillaNET is included in the source, since I have made
numerous small fixes and extensions. The GetLine() method was fixed, and I
found it necessary to have a custom string marshalling function to get
userlists working; this may be because I haven't understood something
important. Drag and drop has been added, which fires the URIDropped event.
(This is usually only fired by the GTK version). A new event, ControlClick, has
been added. I've left out the configuration and dialog stuff because Sciboo
has its own strategies for implementing here - this ScintillaNET is used purely
as a wrapper around Scintilla. Sciboo uses mode files, which are based on the
syntax used by Neil Hodgson's Sinkworld project. They are easier and more
flexible than editing a large XML file.

You'll notice that program output, compile results and find-in-files are
directed to separate tabbed panes. Mulitiple instances of the main form can be
opened and tiled, which compensates for the lack of split views.

At the very least, I hope that Sciboo will be educational. Boo is not difficult
to read, if you know C# and a little Python. My hope is that it will be a
useful, freely available reference for people using ScintillaNET. It may also
inspire some thinking about its older brother, which still remains my favourite
code editor of all time.
