If I were building a cross-platform app, I think I'd choose the Mozilla XUL platform over Java these days. A good XUL text editor would be pretty sweet - imagine it as a Firefox plugin for blogging. :) My impression is that Objective-C/Cocoa/whatever these things are built in isn’t easily portable.

It is open source and has a head start. http://smultron.sourceforge.net/ I tried ForgEdit when I saw it pop up on MacUpdate. It was nice, but certainly not compelling enough to make me leave BBEdit and Smultron. Or vi. :) Don’t forget Smultron. It is open source and has a head start.
