This is very nice.  Back when I ran windows, I used SciTE almost 
exclusively.  The editor is a much better option for most of my projects 
than visual studios or emacs.  Is there any chance you might port this 
to other systems?

These days, I mostly use OS X and Linux.  On Linux, decent text editors 
are easy to find and install.  This is not very surprising given the 
higher percentage of technically literate folks who run Unix, plus the 
fact that you need a text editor to pretty much anything in the system.

Yet ironically enough I have yet to find even a single passable GUI text 
editor for programming on OS X.  For an operating system that prides 
itself on ease of use, it is quite pathetic that the only code editor 
(vim) lacks mouse support!  I've searched for other options, but they 
all fall into one or more of the following categories:

1. Buggy
2. Shareware
3. Bloated
4. Dumbed down web only editors

An OS X port of SciTE would solve so many issues, and make many Mac 
programmers very happy.
