Textadept 6.6 has been released. Changelog located here[1].

Textadept is a cross-platform text editor written using Scintilla and GTK/ncurses, with Lua as its scripting engine.

This version has an updated D LPeg[2] lexer which does a few nice things like highlighting certain identifiers when they appear in version and __traits expressions. The syntax highlighting has also been updated for the 2.063 language changes such as the addition of __MODULE__ and __vector.[3]

[3] Of course it doesn't properly support HEREDOC strings, but then again, nothing does.

Well, I wouldn't say that in general: http://www.dsource.org/projects/visuald/wiki/Tour/Editor ;-)

What exactly is the difference against e.g. Scite? I can see it uses GTK for windowing, which I'm not a fan of, but that's just a nitpick. Does it have any cool features that are not present in Scite?

Textadept places a large emphasis on scripting. There are only 2.4k lines of C in the project. Most of the editor's features are actually written in Lua. The API is very extensive.[1]
