Screenshot with dark theme: http://i.imgur.com/oqByS.png
If there was a screenshot without this (is there a terminal version?), I would regain interest. Screenshots are important especially to people like me who may or may not care. They're the fastest way for a potential user to answer the question: is this worth caring about at all.
Some questions you can answer with screenshots:
- Does it run on my platform?
- Are there any glaringly ugly things about it that will be a dealbreaker?
- Is it more beautiful/cool than what I'm already using?
- To what extent can it be customized?
- What kind of people are using it (if you have user screenshots)?
Scrollbar issue is with my XFCE theme, not textadept.

Runs on Windows, Linux, and MacOS.
> Are there any glaringly ugly things about it that will be a dealbreaker?
I don't see any.
> Is it more beautiful/cool than what I'm already using?
Well, it depends on what you find more beautiful/cool :) For example, it's similar to my current GVim setup: http://i.imgur.com/djaLS.png
> To what extent can it be customized?
It seems that most of it is written in Lua (except the core), so it seems pretty extensible http://foicica.com/textadept/11_Scripting.html

Can't help you with this :)
Looks good otherwise. Not to my taste, but it is refreshing to see a new text editor that actually seems like it was written by someone who understands the variety of use-cases of text editors.
