I'll stick to the 1.x branch, and while it may cost more I'm seriously considering Sublime as a purchase.
E was my editor of choice when Windows was my primary OS and a very nice editor it was. It's a shame there's no Linux version :(
The author open sourced most of the code. You can find it here http://github.com/etexteditor/e you should be able to compile a version that works with linux.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
In other news, Chrome, a Firefox clone, has beaten Firefox to version 4, and also to version 5... ... Or maybe, just maybe, comparing version numbers across different programs is completely useless.
Well, E was inspired heavily by Textmate and IIRC the author of Textmate was involved a bit: http://e-texteditor.com/blog/2006/11
Simply that comparing version numbers is pointless: call it E-text 2010 for all I care, and it won't be better or worse for it.

Better not compare releases and new features either ... like it or not TextMate is stagnant.
But discussing/comparing features is a sensible topic. Saying that E-text beat Textmate to version 2 it useless. First, version number has nothing to do with features (as I was pointing out in the browser world). Second you can say E-text 2 is better than the latest Textmate, but nothing more: nobody apart from the author (and his collaborator) knows what's TM2 gonna be like.

I wonder how the "open company" thing turned out: http://e-texteditor.com/blog/2009/opencompany http://e-texteditor.com/wiki/index.php/OpenCompany since it looks like this new version is closed again.
Maybe I'm missing something -- I write PHP files with HTML sections - and often CSS sections in HTML. I can't figure out how to get true multi-language highlighting working. Does anyone else have this working? If I choose HTML as the document type, I can style some PHP elements - but CSS in particular is just standard foreground-on-background... Otherwise, this looks like a replacement for PSPad, which is my current…
I looked in the forum to try and see if I could figure out how to maybe add it myself - but I see a whole lot of posts looking for help with no answers - and I didn't find anything that helps me figure out how to get started maybe adding this functionality.
I poked around in the various files included with the program, and I don't see where the definitions are... Meh.
It's a pity - this looks fantastic, but it won't work for me.
I switched back to notepad++.
