I've been working with gedit because it is the standard offering with Linux (I'm a Kubuntu user), but several people have mentioned Kate. For a text editor, for the most part I want a clone of textmate. Is there any merit to the claim that Kate is a textmate clone? I seek comparisons =]

There are redcar

http://redcareditor.com/

Textmate bundles, Redcar supports Textmate themes and snippets.

I don't know Textmate, but I have some experience with Geany and Kate on Ruby.

I prefer Kate because it's possible to view several files side-by-side in the same window. It's useful to see file dependencies (class and subclass, controller and model/view, etc.).

Kate save sessions, so the window will open next time as it was left.

I suggest KDE >= 4.7 due to some bug fixes and new features.

SublimeText 2 (beta) is a cross-platform gui editor that is a lot like Textmate. I've been using it on an off on my Mac and Linux machines. Its fast and so far much nicer than anything else I've used on a Linux machine for development (except for VIM, but that's arguably a whole other ballgame).

While not a "clone" (I don't think you're going to find that any time soon), check out E-Texteditor which supports TextMate bundles.
