You know what, fair enough for a text editor. And looking at the repository
again, it seems like the /devel/ branch is still being updated.
On the other hand, it does seems be a compile-only program, the UI appears
to be 20 years out of date, it's being developed by only two people, and
nVim does pretty much everything I want.

These are still my opinions, however, and if Cooledit works well for you
then I'm glad for you. Thank you for making the suggestion.
