- again, which version? Mine has "replace" in replace dialog and "find" 
is the (separate) find dialog. v.2.5.4 on centos 5.

  - and once again, which version? Mine has "find", "find all",

I have to ask: what colour is the sky in your reality? 'Cause in mine 6 
out 8 programs on your list don't have "Replace and Find" and have 
separate dialogs for replace and search. (Well, mac has separate tabs on 
the same dialog.) The only program that combines "find" and "replace" 
into one dialog and has "replace and find" button is jedit (thus 
violating the principle of least surprise).

That we're apparently looking at the same programs and are not seeing 
the same thing?
