My, how standards have fallen. gedit has roughly .05% of the functionality of emacs, prehaps 1% of the functionality of vim, 10% of the functionality of NEdit, all of which predate gedit be more than a decade. And gedit consumes (on the margin) 6MB of memory when opening a 37KB file. On opening a 2MB file it consumes an addition 20MB. Compare NEdit which wants only 1.1MB for the same file.
