gedit uses heavily GTK+, which is a graphical widget toolkit, a GTK+
application can not run in the console. To run gedit in a console, an
ncurses interface must be implemented for example, but in this case 90%
of the current code can not be reused…

And the whole point of gedit is to be a graphical text editor…
