Albyn, I'll look into it. In fact, I have a small book on it that I bought in my very early days of using Linux. I quickly found TeX Maker (for the obvious), Code::Blocks for C/C++ and I would not have started the move without a working Smalltalk (http://pharo-project.org/home).
For editing data files, I really just want something that shows data in an understandable grid and does not do weird stuff thinking it's being helpful.
