[MonoDevelop] Scintilla over GtkSourceView

[Marco Canini]

Here's my suggestion:
don't preclude any way!

In eclipse the editor is not one, there's a collection of editors and
they implement a common interface.

I don't think there would be too much penalty in doing it so also in MD.
So you can use sourceview, scintilla, maybe a vim binding, etc...

What do you think?
