Oh, sorry, I was talking about mousepad instead Leafpad.

The point is the same: Leafpad is more similar to mousepad than Pluma. 
Has no syntax colors, spellcheking, plugins... and the about says it was 
released on 2010...


I think it will be a great idea to use Pluma instead Leafpad.

What do you think?
