That's interesting.  Everyone here, who has used it for any
reasonably-sized
project, has really liked it.  I've seen opposition from programmer's
who
try it for a day and then immediately abandon it, however.  Have you
tried the Windows version of Origami from Elcom (it adds several
niceties, 
but the default color scheme is horrible)?  There is a new Linux version
of the
free Origami.  I'm getting ready to try that one.

The main problem that I've seen are the non-intuitive key bindings. 
That can 
be fixed -- but I like the old ones.
