Scribes - TextMate-like Python editor for Ubuntu/Gnome

a) This has nothing to do with Ubuntu.

b) I used to like Scribes very much, until I realized one thing: GEdit can do everything Scribes can do, plus much more. It's more mature, and more active. Also, its template system (which is Scribes' flagship feature) is more robust.

Most people don't know how powerful GEdit really is. Take a look at http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/Plugins to get a feel for what GEdit can really do.

You are right about GEdit's power. it is pretty amazing.

Also, Scribes isn't only a Python-editor, unlike what the title suggests (maybe I'm reading it wrong).

I'm frusterated with GEdit. No regex search and replace, tabbing requires ctl+t, ugg. And there's no block select mode. I really miss TextPad since switching to Linux.

So far I like Kate the best, but it's dog slow to open. Someday I should bite the bullet and learn VIM I guess.

Start today, it's an investment that will pay off big in the long run.

Not a bad reference. http://www.truth.sk/vim/vimbook-OPL.pdf The key to vim is to stay in editing mode.

But the Scribes site looks sexier than GEdit's. That's what programmers really care about!

I installed Scribes some months ago and you are completely right. I keep using Gedit. My partner uses Geany, have you ever tried it?
