    Since a while i use gedit for my programming.
    I was used to use Geany but with an ssh connection between computer and host it was very slow.
    Gedit Beats the hell out of geany of performance.
    And with the tons of plugins available it has very much features to use :)
    Love it so far

    On Linux great for quick edit of anything.

    On OS X a little bit buggy and slow.

    A Windows Version also available.
