gEdit is a general purpose text editor that includes internationalized text, syntax highlighting, undo/redo, file reverting, print and print preview support and more.
The most useful feature of GEDIT for me has been its ability to edit files in different formats like RTF or HTML without having any problems with formatting when I have used it as an FTP client (like Filezilla).
It can be slow at times but not enough so where you would complain about this product being discontinued by their developers! However there are some other features which may interest users who use software such as Notepad++ - these include code completion using CTRL + spacebar etcβ¦
Pros
Free availability, very reliable functionality even if running Linux OSes since Windows is supported too unlike many popular text editors that require Microsoft products only iwth no support across others platforms
It is a very simple and easy to use text editor. It is very customizable and can be used as a text editor for any kind of text. It also allows you to use multiple documents at the same time. It does not have any specific feature that we like but it is a very good text editor to use. I would recommend this to people who are looking for a simple and easy to use text editor.

Cons
A bit long processing times when opening large amounts data due mostly likely because Linux's default OpenOffice uses an older version
Less features compared other programs such Microsoft
