What about Ed, the standard text editor?

  That's a terminal program. I only consider graphical applications to be applications.

    I think the basic text widget of all the toolkit support text attributes (color, styles,…) and as the solutions for syntax highlighting and other stuff existed already, it was not a big stretch to add them instead of having two editors (the first user was the programmer)

      Ah, I guess that's the problem then! The first user shouldn't be the programmer :-)
