Though I fully agree that Quanta is way ahead of the others, nothing takes 
decades to catch up to. Especially if you simply branch off from Quanta, or 
duplicate the features on a re-write. Unless of course the management and/or 
programmers are really weak.

Otherwise I fully agree. The main things I like (in no particular order) is 
the color coding, completion of brackets, two click uploading to website, and 
the accessable documentation. I also like the interface and how easy it is to 
have many projects.

Though I use Kate and Kedit a lot for smaller jobs. With KDE supporting ssh 
(fish://) on file open's I can pick up files anywhere under any user. That 
makes it a cinch to do all the work from one computer regardless of where you 
are.
