And dangerous, I detest editing software that throws your prose on the 
floor leaving you to read it when you next call it up, if its even 
readable, in random order. I long ago nuked any and all of gedit from my 
systems and replaced it with geany. And I haven't had to rewrite from 
scratch, a 700+ LOC for a cnc machines configuration file since. With 
zero help from the gnomes for gedits problems over the last decade+.

Use what works, use geany, or even nano.
