gedit text editor now available on Windows

gedit, the default text editor of the GNOME desktop environment, is now available in Windows binary to be run on the Windows operating system. gedit is a simple text editor and vastly inferior, if I may use that word, to powerful Windows text editor like Notepad++ and Notepad2. But Linux users who are used to qedit will find it exciting to be able to use this application when they work on Windows.
