A good engineer's editor probably supports any language - it does for me.
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 the target audience nowadays? Or, should we default in one for simple note-padding and one with a lot of engineering capabilities?
Keep in mind that they are both low on dependencies, relative to other packages.

even if the GUI toolkit wouldn't use C++).
