I completely agree with Havoc.
My goal is to add to gedit all the features I need for my day by day
work (i.e. mainly writing C and Java code and LaTeX documents). In this
way I will use it a lot and I will be able to improve its quality.
In fact, now that I have started to use it for my work, I'm seeing its
usability improving day by day (since I'm fixing all the little problems
I'm finding).
This does not mean that I will add a lot of new features, since the
current set of features satisfies all my needs.
You should try to write LaTeX documents with syntax highlighting and
automatic spell check :-)

I discussed this with snorp some time ago. We think it should be
possible to add a command line parameter to disable syntax highlighting
and all the plugins.
In this way we could have a gnome-text-editor script that calls gedit
with the --I-want-a-simple-text-editor parameter.
What do you think?
Ciao,
Paolo
