[MonoDevelop] Scintilla over GtkSourceView

[Mike Krueger]

Hi

I think that the text editor should be done in C# and the #Develop 
source code editor does fine (you're
using a translated version for MonoDevelop, right?).
It's much easier to change a C# text editor than any C project. Maybe 
someone will develop the C# text editor
further as stand alone project... I think that C/C++ should 'die' as 
mainstream application development language in
the future and it doesn't help much for a C# project to add uneccessary 
C/C++ dependencies.

Regards
Mike
