Architecture

Designed for the X Window System, it uses the [[GTK+]] 2.0 and GNOME 2.0 libraries. Complete GNOME integration is featured, with support for drag and drop between Nautilus (the GNOME file manager); and the use of the GNOME help system, virtual file system, and printing framework.

Recently, a new program called gPHPedit has been created, based on gedit. It is designed for PHP and HTML text editing.
