Gnome 43 Bugs

Gedit is not part of the Gnome group in the same way Gnome-Terminal is; Gedit is maintained by an independent developer who hasn’t been too keen on the direction of Gnome/GTK in the past and has stated they won’t use GTK4. So the Gnome devs created Gnome Text Editor with GTK4 in mind, which is why on Fedora and Ubuntu that is now the default text editor to use. Feature parity wise it’s mostly there and I don’t have any issues using either of them.

Most things are going to GTK4, so I try to use that when and as much as I can so I use Gnome Text Editor myself. For Gnome Console, that’s not really meant to replace Gnome-terminal, but more to compliment it. Gnome-terminal itself should see a GTK4 port by Gnome 44 or 45, but they still need a bunch of work to port a bunch of vte stuff over. For a GTK4 terminal tho, I recommend Black Box, which comes in a flatpak.
