[MonoDevelop] Scintilla over GtkSourceView

[Todd Berman]

Ben is working as part of this new editor, a common binding assembly
that implements all the menu items/dialogs that you expect from a source
buffer. This will mean that if someone decides to write a new editor
(mmmmm, vim binding anyone?) you will have a common set of Interfaces to
inherit and handle to get it embedded into MD, and your find will look
like the find people expect irrespective of your source buffer of
choice.
