True, however you failed to mention the reasons to use Scintilla for
source code editing such as:

		Tooltip help for function arguments
		Selection box choices for members, enums, etc.

Essentially Scintilla's recipie seems to have been: Take a rich text
widget, remove things that are not useful for source text, add all the
neat things in the latest VB editor.  Then port to Linux...
