From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Maxthon; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: Standing on the user's view, I reckon we shold replace gEdit with Leafpad due to some reasons: + gEdit is not a simple text editor anymore, we should depracate them from the main stream. We know that gEdit is growing to be a very good programming text editor, even better than Anjuta. We should free gEdit from its curse as "simple text editor". My suggestion is to include gEdit as extra or in programming section. + Leafpad is 2x faster, smaller in size, efficient, simple like Windows's Notepad. It doesn't require many GNOME dependencies. People use Notepad on Windows always keep in mind that they're doing some simple draft text, for a full document editing, they will use MS Office or OOo. Please vote for this.

Hi Jones, GEdit is very fast, simple, and has active upstream developers. It's all around very good. It's also the default text editor for upstream gnome. I don't see the point of changing it. If upstream changes their default, Fedora Core will probably change too, of course.
