Personally, I recommend Kate. It has all sorts of great features. (grin!)

I use Konqueror and Kate all the time under Xfce. When I need to
(rarely!) I can always start KDE or Gnome. When I use Konq to brows
the remote system, I can easily right-click a file and open it with
Kate, then when I save it the remote file gets updated. There are a
FEW things that don't work (desktop integration issues, like dragging
files from other file managers to Kate, for instance) but the basic
app works great, and the KDE utilities work together within other
environments.

Switching from Gnome to KDE is neither irrevocable nor absolute --
install both, and use what you need when you need it!
