I'm very willing to make heavy use of it.  In fact, from time to time I 
start playing with writing one myself, which was one of the main reasons I 
started using PyQt/PyKDE in the first place.  I'm a long-term NEdit user, 
myself, and really like it, but I'm starting to come up against some 
annoying barriers -- not to mention I want something that integrates better 
into KDE (and doesn't look like shit -- *cough* -- I mean Motif, no offense 
to NEdit).  I am NOT a member of the church of Emacs either.

Personally, I'm looking for something like Kate/KWrite with better (i.e. 
more configurable) syntax highlighting, and of course the ability to 
register python code. :-)  I'll be happy to rate my wants on a list of 
proposed features.  I've not seen Scintilla, but I thought about taking a 
look at it.  It's just that there doesn't seem to be a Debian package for 
it, and I'm too lazy to build it myself. :-)
