As the guy who implemented one generic form of "throwback" for NEdit, namely calltips, I can tell you that it certainly does support it and I've used it extensively. It's an editor that is extremely flexible without being *too* obscure, so you can get it to do just about anything you want. I have been unable to find another editor that has the same combination of power, flexibility, and ease-of-use, and I've looked far and wide. Having said that, I'm afraid NEdit development has sunk into a tar pit. There is no effective leadership on the project and it's inextricably tied to the Motif toolkit, which means very few new developers will sign on. I've given up and switched to jEdit, which has a similar spirit (platform-independent, language-independent, flexible) but, being written in Java, a much higher bloat factor. But hey, with 2GB of ram it doesn't feel so bad to give 150MB to my text editor any more. I would *love* to have an alternative written in OCaml, since my forays into the jEdit code have left me with unpleasant feelings...
