Bluefish 1.0 Released 33
datadriven writes "Bluefish 1.0 was released this week. I've been using it for about a year and a half and find it to be about the closest thing I've found to Homesite, which I used before switching to Linux. According to the website the new version features 'A new, very extended manual, better gnome and kde integration, much improved bookmarks, many performance improvements.'"

Being that this is a GTK app I wonder how hard it would be to make the conversion? Almost all other GTK projects that I use have windows ports so I wouldn't imagine it would be that difficult.

Minimize the main window, and leave the DCC Receive window open. This may not be required, but it will allow you to monitor the status. Have a friend send you a file, and watch it come in. While it's transferring, try to restore the main window -- you can't! It won't come up until the transfer completes.
Mind you, it's entirely possible that it was just my screwy system, but I found it amusing to no

I can completely understand your point of view on this though. I remember (barely) the first time I used Linux, Mandrake 8.2, and it did feel weird.

I thought I wouldn't be able to find something I liked after using HomeSite since it practically came out, but jEdit is heaven and it works on all the platforms I use.

KDE's Kate and KDevelop ran very fast on all boxes that I've tried but you have to install the massive KDE framework to get these.

Oddly, they don't bother to tell you what it is on either the main page or under Features.

I last used Bluefish about a year ago, and I absolutely loved it, but... it crashed, often.
I've been using Quanta and have grown to like it, but my environment is Gnome, so Quanta is something of an ungainly beast with all those kde parts loading on top of gnome.
I'm compiling Bluefish now, and can't wait to test it out.
