I'm having trouble finding anything in the source tree, but searches on "QTextEdit" and "QPlainText" fail, so it's maybe not using Qt's very competent text edit classes? The Readme indicates Qt is used, it would be odd not to use the built-in (but highly customizable) editor which supports a syntax analyzer and lots of other things you would think this project needs.
