Looks pretty cool to me!  I wasn't aware of this project...thanks for
the link!

If Nedit doesn't fit the bill (and you're willing to pay more than $20),
there's always Visual Slick Edit which is commercial and multi-platform.
I haven't used it yet (still using CodeWright, but I'll have to switch
to something else soon, since CW has gone the way of the Dodo), but it
looks promising.  Ultra Edit and Visual Slick Edit (and now Nedit) are
high on my short-list of editors to check out when the pain of running a
dated version of CodeWright becomes too much to bear.
