No syntax colorizing has to be the top one, but also there is no code
folding, the default key bindings are awkward the focus model of the WM
is overriden, the colors (in help/ref/teach files) look badly painted,
no tab-editing (for multiple buffers, i.e. you need different windows
for each) and some other pithy complaints. Most of that is also true of
vi, but at least the key-bindings are more straight forward.
also by making it a jedit plugin poplog gets access to all of the other
jedit plugins (or should it be the other way around?)

PS: I have a (almost) complete standalone version of the java-bound
poplog incremental compiler. Will put in my website when its ready. The
jedit plugin extensions will take a bit longer...
