What if his files end with ".hs"?
I do most of my coding at work (rails, python, ruby, js, html, css), where we have ubuntu machines - I LOVE gedit and simply can't do without it. It has a powerful plugins system, and there's a good repo at github.com/lexrupy/gmate that contains some of the best. There's a port for it on a mac, but I tend to stick to TextMate when on OSX (my home computer). Some of my can't-do-without features are: delete line, dupli…

EDIT: I got inspired to try Red Car again after posting this comment. Uninstalled Ruby completely from Windows 7, installed jRUby 1.5. Red car gem installation went perfectly, but the editor is shockingly slow and unresponsive. I don't know if the same applies to linux platform, or if there is something wrong with my system (its a 2 year old laptop, and its been a long while since I have reinstalled the Windows OS)

Nope. I had to make the journey over to the ESC key. So close...
You can use ZZ to save and close a document in Vim :)
