Quanta is amazing! and, I am using it on YDL 2.3! (i don't think it
works on ydl 2.2, w/ qt2, i tried...)  

you can buy the ppc linux version, they just don't mention it on thier
site...
there is a simple tweak you have to make to a path once it is installed
as well:

>>theKompany tech support>>copy files /usr/local/qt/etc/settings/quanta*
to ~/.qt/

it rocks, i think it is better than bbedit as it has a tabbed interface
for all source files.
