Nobody is excluding gedit. The gedit developers *want* their project

enough of a reason to pick a weaker name for a different[1] upstream
project in my opinion.

[0] https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153995 is fairly old,
but the response to more recent attempts to rebrand gedit has been the
same as far as I know
[1] I'm explicitly not saying "competing" - as Jasper has pointed out,
the target audience is quite different

Well, the bug you mentioned is more than 8 years ago :)
