Text editors scriptable in Lua

I am planning to survey the text editors that support scripting in
Lua, to decide which one to adopt. I am already aware of Vim, SciTE
and LucEd (Lucid Editor). Do you know of any others?

Second question (purely speculative): what are the chances that gedit
may add support for Lua scripting in the near future?

Re: Text editors scriptable in Lua

Textadept (http://caladbolg.net/luadoc/textadept/manual/1_Introduction.html) is not only scriptable in Lua, it's written largely in Lua.  (It's basically a Lua wrapper around the Scintilla editing control.)

If you go to <http://pastebin.com/XsmVTkEp> and save the clip to HTML,
it has a section on text editors that can be scripted with Lua,
including several you haven't mentioned.

Not as complete as others, more focus as lua/shader ide
http://www.luxinia.de/index.php/Estrela/Estrela
but being written in lua, quite customizeable and different "frontends" possible
