Well, if this is a text editor for programmers, i would like some of the following :

• Bracket matching
• Color Coding (syntax highlighting, standard to code editors)
• FTP (or SSH) interfaces for editing remote files (like SlickEdit)
• perl -c inteface (via a button named check maybe ?)
• User settable icons (like Dev-C++ (gnome|normal))
• Template facility
• URL Encoding (i hate typeing <)

And, some features i would like in a text editior regardless of if it is a code editor or not.

• Unicode capable
• (En|De)cryption (via pgp or DES maybe ?)
• Perl Regular expressions (as you stated. I would love this)
• vi (or vi like) substitution ability
• <joke> a (hidden?) link to the monastery in the help menu </joke>
• GPL :)
