Pros: 1. Yes, it uses Swing. I have even stared writting it in Clojure, but startup time was too long, not acceptable for lightweight text editor. 2. Yes, it is. I've carefully studied Mac's TextEdit, NetBeans and Eclipse and merged theirs ideas.
Cons: 1. Yeah, I haven't implemented highligting yet. The cost (time and work) of implementation would be higher than profits I would get. For me more important were brackets matching and highlighting occurences of selected word. 2. Yes, first it must be configured. 3. I think that low level configuration gives you much more possiblities of running or integrating it in different scenarios (folder layouts, libraries dependiences etc.) I have no more time for improving the editor, that is why it has been open sourced.
