it seems from 
http://groups.google.com/group/scintilla-interest/browse_thread/thread/c6f30573dfb93fd5 
that it would be supported gtk+ 3.0 when released (around December).

Having only gtksourcerview can make the maintenance easier, but on the 
other side it can limit user's choice for editor. Personally I'm a 
Scintilla fan and I'd really like to help keeping up with gtk+ 3.0 
support. The only problem is the time: I'm not sure I can serve both 
symbol-db/c++ parser/lsp-c++ and scintilla maintenance.
On the other side gtksourceview is lacking a really important thing 
IMHO: support for custom syntax highlighting. In that way I would like 
to search for someone that could provide a simple xml-color-schema to 
integrate into Anjuta preferences, in a way like it's for Scintilla 
right now. It shouldn't be that difficult I suppose. A python plugin can 
also be thought: it has good xml-parsing utilities.

Anyone for this?

thanks and regards,
Massimo
