Bluefish or geany I guess. If you don't feel religious about toolkits and DEs, you can always use kate, as suggested above.

)

Do yourself a favour and learn gvim or emacs.

You don't have to install KDE to install Kate.

I just fired up my Fedora virtual box. You can select the KDE Software Development Kit under Fedora Add/Remove Programs, then run Kate under Gnome (or Fluxbox, for that matter).

Not that it's important to me, but you mostly do. kate, just like any other kde package, requires kdelibs, the io-slaves, phonon and all the rest of kde infrastructures. You don't have to use kde to use kate, but you almost have to install it. Not every k* program, true. But you need the kde foundations.

As said, not that it's an important thing taking into the size of hard drives nowadays. If the problem is about the look use either oxygen-gtk or qtcurve and both toolkits will look the same (almost).
