mooedit

Thank you very much for the free open source program!

Configurable, feature-rich and lightweight, my favourite editor!

Best option I've found in the zone between powerful/tabbed editor, and fast/simple/light. Awesome.

Far better finishing than Gedit, far more lightweight than jEdit (which also suffers from rather ugly text rendering). Its only issues to me, are to be based on GtkSourceView for syntax colourization (a finite state automata is better in this area) , and a few bugs, but in the overall, it scores as much well as PSPad for Windows (which is not available for Ubuntu nor Mac), and may compare for finishing, with SublimeText, although this one is a bit too different for a really relevant comparison. I've rated 5 of 5 for ease, design and support, and 4 of 5 for features.
