Someone should have introduced you to Nisuswriter.

Here's one to watch: Frontier is slated to go open source. There is 
already talk of porting it to Linux. Frontier used to have a special 
relationship with BBedit and it is possible that it could enjoy a 
similar relationship with an existing Linux editor, say WebDevKit 
(formerly Quanta) or jEdit or even Emacs so that Linux _could_ have 
something stellar.

One can wish.

Best, Ted
