Greetings;

browsing github, I see John Thornton changed it to Mousepad.

Reading the properties in synaptic, this seems like it might not be the 
ideal, at least in my experience.

Granted, gedit is a bad editor and has created several weeks worth of 
recovery/rebuild work for  me in times past with its penchant for 
scrambling and substituting whole pages of text while adding a typo 
correction to a hal file, a major pita for me on several occasions. It 
should be purged from the debian repositories but I don't have the 
rights.

What I did do was find another editor that worked, including the very 
configurable printing of hard copy, and one that only makes the same 
typo mistakes my ancient figures make, and it has NEVER scrambled a file 
for me, and that is geany.  So if I were to have removed gedit, which I 
have here, then to me that default editor would be geany. Its best 
feature is its history, opening every file you've been working on and 
have not explicitly closed in recent history everytime its launched, 
extremely handy when verifying net or signal or param names so they are 
used correctly throughout a given config.

That, and like nano, it Just Works. But with a much prettier face.

My 2 cents.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
