LOL. I will say that my initial reason for preferring gtksourceview when I was looking for another editor was the native feel, which is a major reason I was only looking at gtk-based editors. Maybe my experiences are just because Geany has done such a darn good job of using scintilla while gedit hasn't done such a good job of using gtksourceview :-)

My experience is exactly opposite. GSV feels natural in GTK+ since most of its API is directly inherited from the existing GtkTextView widget and the rest of its API is very idiomatic. Scintilla's GTK+ backend, without going into a huge rant, has quite possibly the worst, most foreign API to ever be unleashed on the world.
