It provides 98% of the same features but its monumentally easier to learn, use and customize. I think its the epitome of modern, well thought out programmer editor design. My only problem is that it is just slow enough to be irritating over a long stint of work ( P2 chip, 333 mhz, 191 mb ram). If you are on linux the fonts suck. Jedit lets you change UI and editor fonts. I've installed true type fonts, but alas Sun hoses java again with its true type support ( lack ). The lines between the true type text are almost double spaced. Linux does have some decent looking fonts on it. A tutorial on how to change the default for the jvm, writtn for non nix gurus is sorely needed.
