NEdit is a comprehensive multi-purpose text editor for the X Window System, which combines a standard, easy to use, graphical user interface with the thorough functionality and stability required by users who edit text eight hours a day. It provides intensive support for development in a wide variety of languages, text processors, and other tools, but at the same time can be used productively by just about anyone who needs to edit text.

NEdit is a simple but VERY powerful programmer's editor! It has a very simple and easy-to-use basic layout and is HIGHLY extensible. It can syntax highlight dozens of common programming languages, but if it doesn't understand the one you want, it's easy to add your own! The same can be said about the NEdit macros, which I have come to depend on. NEdit is easy-to-use, straight forward, extremely powerful, and both fast and lightweight; I wouldn't trade it for anything!
