GMate - a set of useful extensions for gedit

The default editor in GNOME and, therefore, Ubuntu is gedit. And unlike Notepad in Windows, it is useful :), but it still looks very simple, even after installing the gedit-plugins package. But actually it’s quite a nice and well extensible editor, you just need to add water extensions.

GMate looks in the direction of the beautiful TextMate from Mac OS X and contains a selection of the most delicious extensions, snippets, themes. Initially, GMate was created specifically for Ruby developers, but useful for other developers.
