[UUG/MLUG] simple text editor

[Jeff Thomas <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I recently made the switch to Linux from Windoze.  (hooray)  One of the
programs I use more than anything is a simple text editor, mainly for
HTML.  I can't find one I like on Linux.  Emacs is way more complicated
than I need.  Vi might be OK, if I learned how to use it effectively. 
But I prefer something at least vaguely graphic (I guess it's the
windoze in me).  gEdit would be OK except it seems to crash a lot even
by windoze standards... I don't know what the problem is there. 
gnotepad+ might be OK too, but it has HTML-specific stuff, which I
really don't want or need.  Plus, both suffer from the problem of
wrapping text to the window width, instead of allowing infinite lines
needed for HTML.  I was unimpressed by the KDE editors too.  On windoze,
I was quite fond of the PFE (Programmer's File Editor) program.  It was
like Notepad, but allowed infinite file size, infinite number of files
open at once, and many nice things beyond Notepad.  Much to my dismay, I
just discovered today that the author has ditched development :(  Of
course, it's a windoze program, so the source code isn't available
(well, *nothing* is available now).  If I ever learn how to program (er,
I mean *when*), my first venture will be to port PFE to Linux ;)

Anyway, there's tons of text editors out there; I was just hoping
someone knew of a particular editor that might fit my needs.  It would
be much appreciated.  Thanks.
