It's a fucking text/programming editor.  What major "innovations"
can any simple text/programming editor bring?  Would you like it
to wash your soiled, shit-stained underwear as well.  Idiot.

You are obviously caught up in some bizarre and illusory idealism.

Cooledit does the job.  Furthermore, its GUI is dependent only
on X Window libraries and thus is immune to the GTK+/Qt bullshit.

Actually, if one uses the Midnight Commander (MC) file manager, then one
is using basal cooledit because the MC edit uses the same code base.

Cooledit is not perfect but it is FOSS and thus it depends on contributions
from the FOSS community.

But it is quite apparent that you are just another GNU/Linux freeloader who
wants freedom, only as in beer, without giving anything in return.

So fuck your idealism.  Any program that does the job of existing programs
is certainly worthy of consideration.
