Description-en: powerful, customizable, Motif based text editor
NEdit is a 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.
.
Because of its mature age, NEdit does not support UTF-8 text files,
nor will that be implemented.
