An interesting question could be which engine is faster but this is probably hard to test and maybe not even worth if the difference is quite small or not even noticeable.
From my POV, scintilla is pretty slow. Especially on windows where scrolling is painfully slow, but also for opening the auto-completition list (although I remember it was way faster some month ago, so it could be my system(s)). I don't know whether gtksourceview does better.
Other than that, I don't see much of a point for changing. But I do think supporting both would be awesome (even if via a compile time switch only) :) Best regards.
