Well, I chose this pronunciation too... It is quite natural, easy for my
tongue and less offensive than the sh... derivative :-)
And I think that SciTE doesn't any longer merits this depreciative
connotation dating back from the times it was a "less-than-able" demo
program for Scintilla.
So, Neil pronounces skintilla?
I always pronounced sintilla, probably because it is similar to the
"scintiller" French verb, which even has a past form:
"L'étoile scintilla dans la nuit"
"The star twinkled in the night".

Gosh - I just always spell out the acronym when talking or thinking
about it: S c i T E. :)
Wow, a bit tedious, and unnatural as you know that the Sci comes from
Scintilla, so there is no point to distinguish individual letters.
