Anjuta is not a text editor. By example, gedit need to search and 
replace text only in open files, so having it working on a GtkSourceView 
object is fine. But Anjuta needs to search and replace text in all 
project files, some of them are not open and don't have a corresponding 
GtkSourceView object.

Moreover, in order to simplify the interactions between plugins, each of 
them provide one or more set of rather simple functions. By example an 
editor plugin, provide IAnjutaEditor which contains only very basic 
functions, it's much simpler than the GtkSourceView and GtkTextView API. 
I think it's not the case for a Gedit plugin which can get directly a 
pointer on the GtkTextView object.
