Both leafpad and mousepad are better than Windows Notepad but they're
not the best choice for engineers.  For the same reason that developers
install Notepad++ on Windows, I would guess that the majority install
Gnome Edit (gedit) on Linux and Unix.

So, the choice of default text editor should be based on the target
audience for the release which has evolved since the first 'buntu, quite
a bit.  Who is it nowadays?
