Well, even better would be if we could have finally 
document-type-specific plugins (like Vim and Emacs have). Then 
the LaTeXila wouldn’t have to have FAQ:

    Why LaTeXila is an independent application instead of 
    a gedit plugin?

    An independent application is easier for the users. The 
    LaTeX-specific features of LaTeXila are more well 
    integrated. 

I don’t think there is any good reason for that, just that we 
cannot hide some plugins which are not applicable, so when using 
more plugins, the result is a mess.
