Recent commentsnedit is the best
nedit is the best editor (gui or otherwise) I have found so far, and I've been looking around for a long time.
The only complaint I might have is that when you compile it from source you have to use certain versions of certain development libraries otherwise it will result in an "untested" version of nedit, and likely will not work properly. (I've built many "untested" versions, and none of them have worked properly ... problems include not being able to type in locations to save to, and cut/copy/paste problems)
I guess the solution is just use the pre-compiled binaries, which is what I do currently.

You can do this with the Shell menu. Look at, e.g., Shell:make, which should be set up by default. Preferences:Default Settings:Customize Menus:Shell Menu will let you set others up.
Dropping gedit/kedit?
This is an excellent and smart looking editor. Simple to strart using, yet with advanced features.
Wanted a non-geek alternative to gedit/kedit (ie: not emacs) for an IceWm desktop and nedit was a perfect match.
I like NEdit
It is slim, fast and easy to use.
An allround and easy editor
there are many editors outthere. there are many that are deemed the ultimate editor. but this one is definately the one to get when working on a graphical *nix environment.
I use nedit whenever I have a graphical environment. only when I can't use a graphical environment, like when I have to work through telnet/ssh, I use vi. in every other case, nedit is there for me :)
