Gedit is a powerful and streamlined text editor app for the GNOME desktop environment. Many users love the app for its simplification of text editing tasks, whether they are writers or coders.

Unlike other text editing applications, Gedit provides a simple interface for programming functionalities from a large number of languages, such as C, C++, Java, XML, HTML, Python, and Perl. Any language that is supported in GNOME is supported through Gedit.

Additionally, users can instantly undo and redo typing, edit files remotely with other coworkers, and target key words to perform mass actions. Although the basic Gedit app may seem a little simplistic, a broad community of passionate developers have created many advanced plugins to extend its basic features.

Requiring only a one time fee of $10, Gedit is great for any programmer in the Linux environment and has recently been introduced to the Mac platform. Gedit is appropriate for use with OSX platforms that are version 10.11 and later. The app also requires an Intel core 64 bit processor for successful installation and set up.
