Line numbers are super convenient for peer-review, so humans can refer
to lines. I've written C programs just to preprend every line with a
consequtive integer. <br>

Rumor has it that C-c C-o C-f C-f C-e C-e instructs emacs to make you a cup of coffee. :^<br>

I personally want an editor without all these fancy things: just syntax highlighting for C/C++/Perl/Bash/Tcsh/Fortran/config files, that has line numbers, and intelligent wrapping/splitting. Can run from a GUI. Does split windows.<br>
<br>
gvim does all these things. But you have to be very careful typing. Because it it vi.<br>
<br>
If Komodo had window splitting and intelligent wrapping, it would be good.<br>
<br>
I looked at kate, but it requires kde.<br>
<br>
pico/nano are ok, but they don't do line numbers, or split windows, or intelligent wrapping.<br>

I don't know if it has all the features you want -- line numbers? Ugh.<br>
You must be coding in runes -- oh, wait, I mean Fortran;-) -- but you<br>

Hey, we have a fair number of current customers with Fortran needs.
It is not going away any time soon (didn't I say somethin bout
them language wars?)<br>
<br>
I like line numbers to help me figure out if I have a really long line
of text. Most text editors do a poor job of handling this case,
happily wrapping it, without telling you, so your key navigation across
the long lines looks really funky.<br>
