NEdit, the Nirvana editor, is a popular text editor and source code editor for the X Window System. It has an interface similar to text editors on Microsoft Windows and Macintosh, rather than to older UNIX editors like Emacs. It was initially developed by Mark Edel for Fermilab and released under a restricted licence, but today it is distributed under the GNU General Public License (plus Motif clauseยน), and developed as an independent open source project by a team of developers. NEdit is extensible through a C-like macro language, and features automatic indentation and syntax highlighting for a wide variety of computer languages. Its user interface is made using the Motif toolkit. NEdit can also process tags files generated using the Unix ctags command or the Exuberant Ctags program.
