Future of NEdit?

[Pieter Masereeuw]

Hi,

If I am allowed to say something without being familiar with the
discussion about Motif and other such environments:

I like working on Unix. Nedit was one of the handiest and fasted editors
available there. Now on my Linux-box, Nedit is often disappointing me
where other programs that come with my distro (Fedora 6) don't.

I support the comment made earlier in this thread: if you don't know
Nedit, you are not going to use it. I am just still using it, because I
don't have an alternative that is as good. But when I use Nedit, I have
some irritations that hamper may daily work. These are (in order of
importance):

- copy-paste between other apps and Nedit does not always work
- sometimes Nedit becomes unexplainably slow
- the open-file dialog is a bit clumsy.

I don't care what causes it (Motif, or whatever) I would favour a
development where Nedit adapts itself to mainstream Unixes (including
Linux). Marketshare is the appropriate word here.

People that for some reason (need to) stick with older platforms will
probably be able to live with a frozen version of Nedit for their
platform.

I hope I am not saying something foolish here, and I also don't want to
offend anybody, but I really would like to continue using Nedit they way I
have been doing for years.
