Please note that QScintilla is a Qt port of Scintilla but not SciTE.
SciTE = Scintilla + IDE features like "Run" support for many
languages.
In other words, the running capabilities that you are referring to are
*not* part of QScintilla. QScintilla only aims at source code editing
(syntax coloring, code completion, calltips, etc.). In Spyder,
QsciEditor (the source code editor based on QScintilla in Spyder v1.x)
exclusive features are the following:
* code folding
* rectangular selection (but this could be done in QtEditor as
well without too much efforts)
* syntax coloring for the following filetypes (one lexer per
line):
* QsciLexerDiff: .diff, .patch, .rej
* QsciLexerCSS: .css
* QsciLexerHTML: .htm, .html
* QsciLexerBatch: .bat, .cmd, .nt
*
QsciLexerProperties: .properties, .session, .ini, .inf, .reg, .url, .cfg, .cnf,
.aut, .iss
But supporting the filetypes above do not seem to be important for a
scientific-oriented IDE. Besides, these lexers were added to Spyder
v1.x only because they were implemented in QScintilla, so it was
really nothing to do to integrate them to the source code editor.
Note that the languages you are referring to (glpk/mathprog, gnuplot,
r package) are *not* supported by QScintilla anyway, at least not on
the most widely used versions of QScintilla (QScintilla does not
support all Scintilla features).

Yes, you're right, but Spyder is absolutely not intended to replace
SciTE. Please remember that Spyder stands for Scientific *PYthon*
Development EnviRonment.

That's right, QtEditor, the source code editor based exclusively on Qt
which is the default editor in Spyder v2.0, currently supports only
Python, Cython, C/C++ and Fortran 90. This is quite logical: being a
Python IDE, Spyder supports Python and the languages that may be used
to write Python extensions (i.e. C/C++ and Fortran).

Sorry I totally missed this post!
I hope I've answered to all your questions now.
Cheers,
