tabbed text editor without big libraries
I am looking for a tabbed text editor without a big library like gnome, kde, and gtk, I know about gedit, kate with extensions, geany, and bluefish. I would prefer it to be like gedit and be really light weight. So if anyone knows of a text editor that doesn't require those big libraries please let me know Smilie.
