You know, the UNIX philosophy has always been "do one thing and do it really well." This has been the power and strength of UNIX. And, by extension, Linux. Scribes focuses itself on only editing text. I haven't tried it yet (yum install is running as I type) but it seems like it might be a good thing.
Side note: The GUI text editor I use is Mousepad (comes with the <a href="http://www.xfce.org/" title="xfce.org">Xfce4 desktop environment</a xfce.org>). It can't do anything but text. Even Scribes has more features. But for the purpose of text editing, it can't be beat.
Side side note: In all fairness the editor I use 98% of the time is vim in a terminal. Hey, old habits die hard.<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:-)
