Personally, the one reason why I adopted jEdit so quickly is that, as a
programmer, I didn't want to waste any time getting down to work. jEdit
was hella easy to set up (java-based installer) and incredibly easy to
use. just because people are used to doign dificult things doesn't mean
they want to.
