Scrollbar issue is with my XFCE theme, not textadept.
> If there was a screenshot without this (is there a terminal version?), I would regain interest
Gnome terminal, windowed: http://i.imgur.com/Dfh6o.png Gnome terminal, fullscreen: http://i.imgur.com/6yoil.png
> Does it run on my platform?
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?

> 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
> What kind of people are using it (if you have user screenshots)?
Can't help you with this :)
