Subject: Re: TextPad replacement for Linux?

If you're looking for a GUI editor, there's Nedit (www.nedit.org). It's
got the best feel of any mouse-based editor I've ever used. I've used it
on linux and solaris, but it supposedly runs on anything with an X
server.

I've been using nedit with ruby for the last year and a half, and have
made it comfortable with syntax highlighting and a few macros (search in
RAA for nedit).

It's got a built in macro language that's kind of like awk. I wish
they'd use ruby, which would potentially allow embedding an irb shell,
ruby debugger, etc.
