Theming is not great. Existing in-built themes are not very easy on the eye. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It has a very simple interface yet provides syntax highlighting for all the common programming languages. Also you can change font style and font size on the go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The theme of the editor gedit is static bright theme - so it cannot be changed to dark mode. All of today's editors provide this functionality so maybe gedit can also provide this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's a very lightweight and simple text editor, which comes preinstalled in Ubuntu. It supports most common programming languages, and it is very robust in syntax highlighting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The support can be inreased to more programming languages, as well as more support features can be added, such as plugin support and autocomplete for common programming languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We can quickly open files in the linux OS and edit the files. It provides find and replace that works very smoothly and fast. It is good for linux beginners who are not proficient with the vi editors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Syntax highlighting seems me a big issue. Also not much support for shortcuts. Also, it lacks the support for good plugins because of that we can not extend the use of this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ease of use, accessibility, feels like most other windows text editors, simple interface. It supports syntax highlighting for major programming languages such as C, C++, Python, and Java. Also supports spell checking, and highlights matching brackets. It's also available for Mac, windows but I've not used!. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are very few plugins and shortcuts are almost non-existent. Syntax highlighting is not that effective as it doesn't work sometimes with python and c++. The autosave feature for files is not supported. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
