Since we have decided to go towards being desktop agnostic already for more than a year, I don't see why we should bother with replacing text editors. We should sync with Xubuntu, and if there are problems, we should cooperate with Xubuntu devs. But, to discuss gedit anyway. As it seems, things

Gedit seems to have gone wonky... it is not broken, but for some reason the devs have hard coded stuff into it that should be left for the window manager/theme engine. When I opened up gedit in 16.04 it has an inch wide grey "picture frame" around it and no wm decorations. It makes it's own

Ubuntu has stayed with gedit 3.10 all the way through using parts of GNOME 3.16 for good reason. Later versions are much harder to use, GNOME has become known for designing only around one particular workflow concept. Pluma now builds quite well with gtk3 or with gtk2 if the newly released 1.12
