I'm not sure that it's useful to completely merge a text editor and a 
IDE. But, I think it's possible and interesting to be able to write a 
plugin working in both Gedit and Anjuta.

Indeed the plugin system of Anjuta supports dependencies but I don't 
think it makes it hyper complex.

Merging both programs have some advantages as noted by Ignacio even if 
it probably makes the maintenance more difficult but I would not say 
impossible. I think the architecture of Anjuta is quite modular and 
could be used more often.
