I agree. I'm using CED for programming/editing texts, but that's a lot less than needed nowadays. (I never liked MorphEd, IMO it doesn't work the way a text editor should work.) But i'd prefer a MUI based, syntax-highlighting text editor, written from scratch for MOS. It's not that hard. I eved had plans to do such one for myself, but as usual, lack of time and lazyness prevented me to do so.

So such a bounty would be most welcomed!
