As a gedit user I totally agree with Paolo, syntax highlighting is
really useful for the large majority of a text editor user-base, not
only for coders: e.g. I think one of the things normal users do with a
text editor is editing config files and syntax highlightiing makes it
easier.

What about instead having
gedit (in desktop): just the editor
gedit-plugins (in desktop): basic plugins of general use
gedit-plugins-extra (out of desktop): specialized plugins and plugin
with external dependancies (if there are some...)

While I'm at it, what about the change case plugin? (see bug #89743)
Has it any chance to get into gedit-plugins?
