Dare I ask?
This is mostly for others that may be using my laptop, or when I just need to do something quick. All I really need is the basics, tabs (hopefully), and printing. No advanced find and replace with regular expressions needed, or any advanced keyboard layout. I'll have Vim for that once I know it well enough. GEdit is perfect, except that it's Gnome, which I am not ready to support. Leafpad is far too bare-bones. nedit works good, but is butt-ugly -- normally, I don't put much value here, but come on.

Mousepad -- its leafpad with a few additional features. But I am not sure if it brings in xfce dependencies.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

It does, and I can't see anything it has that leafpad doesn't at a glance... the Xfce page says the main reason for their fork of leafpad was for printing, but since leapad now has it...?
I think I'll go with leafpad after all. Just wish it had tabs, and maybe one or two other small things.

Pretty nice, thanks Lots of unecessary (to me) programming features, but still not bad at all.

geany is yet another one. Also supports a few languages for coding, but the one thing I like about it over leafpad and such is that it can do proper indentation for xml files. Pretty useful for Openbox

I think medit is exactly what you want.

Beaver. Supports tabs, small, fast and lightweight. 0.4.0 will not require build patches as does 0.3.0.1. I do not like Leafpad (though I prefer printing through libgnomeprintui than xfprint). Its 'find and replace' is awkward whereas Mousepad does the job as expected (though Leafpad does highlight found keywords). And the red root banner of Mouspad is indispensible when editing files with multiple editor instances open.

MEDIT!
Medit is pretty awesome, I'd actually like to use it, but Vim is too effective. Gvim is too 'stiff' to be awesome, they should modernize Gvim and make a "medit" with vi-keybindings...

Actually, medit (my primary text editor) over Beaver (though Beaver is def lighter all around). medit (footprints at just over 2.5MB installed) uses 13MB of res, Mousepad 9.5MB on a fresh startup on my box. Bluefish 1.33 footprints at 2.7MB installed with 17MB res consumed, but medit starts up noticeably faster, with Mousepad faster still.

+1 for geany. It has a number of IDE features but it is very clean looking and speedy.

Geany bloated ? You can't be serious....
The day Microsoft makes a product that doesn't suck, is the day they make a vacuum cleaner.

But if they tell you that I've lost my mind, maybe it's not gone just a little hard to find...

Printing out of geany and scite can have its challenges when it comes to formatting. I used enscript with both of them. Come to think of it, I use enscript with vim too.
