The fascisti have got to KATE in KDE-3.4 and custom syntax colours now seem to be off the menu. A shame, as I rate that the primary feature of a GUI code editor and really am not going to submit to unreadable schemes anymore than write my code someone else's way or move from Perl to Java or go back to cold war (keystroke memorising) abominations. Been there, done that!

So, once again, find myself looking for a GUI to do it MY WAY (equivalent to EditPlus in Windows). The linux FC4 candidates now seem to be Bluefish, CSSD, Geany, Editra.

My guess is that there is another perlman out there (perhaps also wizened and intractable) who can point me to the path of least grief in this respect? Any chance?
