I've been using Nedit since about 1995 (when it was a binary only download) and I agree, Nedit is an amazingly capable editor which is really easy to use (cw say vi and emacs) with great syntax highlighting, configurability, macros and scriptability. I do however have two problems with Nedit; it lacks utf-8 support and it requires the Motif toolkit. On Linux Motif is a PITA because OpenMotif is buggy (and its license is not and cannot OSI approved) and Lesstif is buggy and unmaintained. Nedit is a fantastic editor, but I really can't recommend it. I've been looking closely at Gedit and its getting close the Nedit in features and capabilities but it isn't quite there yet.
