I personally want an editor without all these fancy things: just
syntax highlighting for C/C++/Perl/Bash/Tcsh/Fortran/config files,
that has line numbers, and intelligent wrapping/splitting. Can
run from a GUI. Does split windows.
gvim does all these things. But you have to be very careful

If Komodo had window splitting and intelligent wrapping, it would be good.
I looked at kate, but it requires kde.
pico/nano are ok, but they don't do line numbers, or split
windows, or intelligent wrapping.

Hey, we have a fair number of current customers with Fortran
needs. It is not going away any time soon (didn't I say somethin

I like line numbers to help me figure out if I have a really long
line of text. Most text editors do a poor job of handling this
case, happily wrapping it, without telling you, so your key
