It’s been more than an year that i’m developing a new scripting language with its own grammar rules and constructs.
I’d like to give the users of this language some minimalistic ide to work with, but i don’t want/have time to make one from scratch so i’d like to take one already existing (it has to run on Linux platforms natively, so no windows-only editors plz) and customize it.

Well, which one is the easiest to customize without changing the source code and recompiling it, maybe even with plugin support?

Thank you.

UPDATE

I don’t need to know which editor is the best for you, i need to know which one is the easiest to customize AND, most of it, which one has the most complete documentation about new language customization.

Ex: SciTE is good, but its documentation about custom grammars is really poor.

    This sounds like a very ambitious project and I wish you luck.

    I don’t use linux too often, I use a Mac and my favorite text editor is called TextMate because it has snippets, code completion, and a whole mess of other features. The closest thing to it that I’ve found on linux is called Scribes.
