gedit - a text editor for the GNOME Desktop

I’ve decided to test a few open source editors. I’ll start with gedit, version 2.15.9. www.gedit.org

This is a pretty cool tool that allows you to add plugins. The plugins range from indenting lines to adding snippets of code. Other goodies include color coding of tags and attributes, document tabs, line numbers, an interactive search feature and highlighting abilities.

Here is a screenshot of the editor in action.
