While I agree that VIM is probably is the fastet and featureful editor 
(yes, emacs is featureful as well, but IMHO not that fast), its not 
suited for the usual desktop user.

BTW: Concerning syntax highlightning, there's GtkSourceView already. 
Adding an optional dependency on GtkSourceView (for people that actually 
want syntax highlightning) looks way better to me, than hacking 
something of your own. Just my 0.02€... ;-)
