I use gEdit for both text and programming for a couple of languages.
The Cobalt theme is the best dark theme\colorlayout I've ever experienced, and I'm yet to find any others which I find as pleasant to the eyes while simultaneously allowing me (I am colorblind) to pick out the various things gedit highlight.
If I'm not going with black-on-white I'll have to roll my own color layout based on Cobolt whenever I use anything else.
