I agree, and I was wondering what it was that was so ugly, now I know -
motif. Oh, well.

I stopped using the Zend program, it was just too much of a memory hog,
like kde and gnome, even on my amd 1ghz/384megs ram box at work.
I used Nedit for about a half-dozen web pages today, it went well, I
like it. The only thing I would add, if I could, would be the ability to
open multiple files in one window, with tabs to bring each on up to the
top.
