There's also gedit and geany and of course kate.  Some editors have
frameworks allowing you to cobble together an IDE friendly to ghdl.  Of
course the enterprising soul might work backward from say gtkwave's twinwave
to include an editor with a file tree browser and external commands.

I haven't found anything that deals with VHDL tags adequately.  Kate and
gedit  can be used to search source code from a tree effectively.

Gedit has an extensive library of plugins:
http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/Plugins

All the things I'd want to do differently in kate would either need to be
redone in gedit or haven't been implemented.  Both seem like a good starting
point.  There's some sync issues with gedit plugins while there are state
saving issues with both gedit and kate plugins.  These'd need extensions to
fix but the editors could generally benefit from it.  Do it right and they'd
go in the source tree.  I've found adapting to the way things are done in
kate is hard, but not near as hard as geany (it may be that I just don't
like the code organization).

http://projects.gnome.org/gedit/
http://www.geany.org/

And if all you're after is syntax highlighting try joe:
http://joe-editor.sourceforge.net/

There's also jedit ( http://www.jedit.org/) but it's a bit on the slow side
and lacks font panache.

There's also an oldy - nedit:
