Interesting! Has promise. I *like* whatever third-party library he is using for his controls (they aren't Windows defaults). I don't like the default FONT though - that looks just awful. I'm sure it is adjustable, and otherwise things seemed good, though I did get some strange non-critical errors when opening some PHP files.
Seems like a great project, but needs to mature a bit. I'll keep increasing my rating as it gets better by default ;). Some give 5/5 to all F/OSS, but open source is just open source, doesn't mean it is better or worse than closed source. Anyway, for now I stay with Notepad++, but am keeping an eye on this!
UPDATE: The uninstaller needs some work. All in all, looks like a project in the early stages. Could end up a good one.

Wow! 5 Years in the making. Hate the sub-glacial development speed, but then it is already very mature so i guess that doesn't reduce it's usability or functionality. At least it is good, or rather very good. By far the best editor (not including IDEs) but it is heavy weight. Knocks spots off Notepad++, and that's saying something.

This was and still is a brilliant editor. The only issue i have with this is the speed of development which is a tad slower than continental drift. It's been about 2 years since the last major update if i recall correctly. That said this is still absolutely solid i've never had any big problems with it other than the odd plugin that is outdated.

roj: use the following to start it up: (with modifications to your specific environment) there's some issues with paint speed, but this at least cures it for me:
E:\Progs\base\Java\jdk1.7.0\bin\javaw.exe -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -Xms64M -Xmx192M -jar "e:\progs\jedit.jar" -reuseview
Quality work as always, plugins enhance it the same way Firefox, TB etc. NIce

@Roj,
if you turn off the installed theme and just use the Windows native theme everything is fine. You're right though, if you do use any of the skin themes e.g. Metal etc, it really does slow down the repaint.
@Nighted,
Yeah, it is really unfair. And truthfully speaking i think the .Net framework is streets ahead of Java as well.
Anway for this editor if you spend some time configuring it i think you'll find it is simply head and shoulders above any of the other OS native editors out there.
Back to the review or sorts. This version seems to have a few problems updating plugins. Everyelse though seems fine.

Blah...I hate java apps. Tried this before, it's horrible! Ok if you're on Linux though, as if you really have much else to chose from.
One thing I never see is people complaining about having to install java, but all the time people b**** about .NET.

One word:
UGH!
Screen repaint speed is ridiculous.
Then again, what do you expect form Java.
Machine was a Athlon64 4400+ w/4Gb and an ATI X800 under XP SP3.
THREE stars.

Blast. The tabs plugin is broke in this version. Now i lost my most loved feature. Still good, but my tabs....(sob...)
Jorpheus reviewed v4.3pre12 on Mar 13, 2008
Really is pretty good, but I miss tabs. Very much so.
(Yes, I know, plugins. Nonetheless.)

This one doesn't seem quit as snappy as the previous prev 10 version for some reason. Not really sure if this is just physcological or not thought. Still awesome though, and knocks spots of any other editor that i know of and i reckon i've used just about every one out there.

Still awesome. It's totally replaced my Ultra Edit installation. Does everything you could ever want it to and then some. My only gripe is that i still seem to get one or two plugin errors which never resolve themselves despite updates (doesn't happen in Linux), though these may be due to faulty plugins as opposed to the app.

This was just what I needed! It works incredibly well. I think jEdit is years ahead of Eclipse. Thanks so much for a wonderful multi-language, extensible IDE!

VelvetElvis, if you had a look at the plugins you would get TextTools that do sorting
