Personally I find kwrite or kate to be excellent. I guess kate if you want
to set up tools etc. Have looked at the bash syntax highlighting xml for
katepart in (~|/usr/share)/apps/katepart/ and it's an excellent basis. Am
hacking it now to add ebuild functions, but if anyone knows a bit more
about this (specifically writing rules) and is willing to help, please mail
me.
