Glad you axed though, I took another look at the web site and noticed the application does not seem to be in active development since a year. I pulled it into latest ubuntu from a repo, so I assumed it was more recent. I still think it's a neat and extremely lightweight editor. Gedit now relies on gtk3.x, so that would be a lot of dependencies & resources to pull down for a server install + xfc desktop running in a VM with <1g ram.

Well I guess the point was what's the advantage of 'extremely lightweight', but VM with < 1GB tbh is probably a use case. Though still, running a GUI on a VM? Remote or local?

I'm a Vim man myself, anyway.

local. far easier to read and edit config files than (ugh) vim over ssh. This is on a local development server instance. I wouldn't run a gui on a remote, though I would use nano rather than vim or, if doing extensive edits, edit locally and scp up.
