I didn't choose the correct wording here. I meant "plugins" as in "things you *have to* program externally in another language" versus the good "the editor has its own language for extensions". A plugin system requiring compiling the plugins doesn't look good to me, but any embedded interpreter is OK. This said, I prefer the editor to use an (scriptable) standard language instead of its own language. That way you don't have to learn a new language just to configure the editor. In short, for writing Vim extensions I would prefer Python and not Vimscript, but that's my personal choice. In the end, learning a new language once you already know many is not a great deal. And BTW, it's good to know that gedit plugins can be written in Python, I didn't know that. Anyway I'm afraid that if I ever try to write a gedit plugin it would be for making it more "vimmie". I don't think it is worth the effort, I suppose ;) Raúl "DervishD" Núñez de Arenas Coronado -- Linux Registered User 88736 | http://www.dervishd.net It's my PC and I'll cry if I want to... RAmen!
