I must learn to avoid posting when I'm already late for work.

As I noted earlier, Linux Format reviewed jEdit badly because the author 
did not load any plugins, so adding some basic plugins to the 
distribution may be a good move.

BufferList is the one that most closely approximates what people may 
expect to see. (IMHO. The existance of several other plugins with 
similar functionality indicates that many users will disagree.) 
CodeBrowser gives code browsing functionality for any language with 
tags support. Console and ErrorList give cheap added functionality. 
Likewise FTP and Whitespace, to a lesser extent.

The only macro I use regularly is ToggleReadonly.
