I'm writing this review with EditPad Pro, running on Red Hat 9 with Ximian Desktop 2. Normally I use gedit for my writing chores, but this is a trial by fire. EditPad Pro's creator, Jan Goyvaerts, wrote to NewsForge a couple of weeks ago and asked if we would be interested in reviewing the editor he has recently ported to Linux. EditPad Pro is a known quantity in the world of Windows, but this is the first edition to be ported to Linux. Knowing that few issues are as incendiary as editor wars, I hesitated to accept the assignment. But in the end, my curiosity got the best of me and I agreed to give it a whirl.
