->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.
