OT: (so this is an off topic reply to an off topic thread....)
I actually tried to write a good RTL text editor (you can see the half 
baked result at http://bidiedit.lingnu.com). I know your comment was 
meant as a joke, but the truth is that mixing RTL text with code does 
not work well in any editor I have ever encountered.

The BiDi engine is located too low to incorporate the syntax analysis 
required to do it properly (and, in some cases, it is not clear what 
"properly" even means) for any editor I've seen to do it.

I usually end up using VIM, because it does not reoredering at all (I.e. 
- all text, regardless of language, is shown from left to right), which 
means that I can separate syntax from content.
