I just looked at Cooledit screen shots, and thought "ugh".
 
The fonts are fugly, for one.
 
 

You are most likely looking at the obsolete versions of Cooledit.
 
The latest version, 4.1.2 is located here:
 
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/apps/editors/X/cooledit/
 
There are no screenshots available.
 
However, the 4.1.2 version uses the Google Notosans fonts for Unicode
coverage.  These fonts are not very attractive.
 
But I have patched the source code to use the Liberation fonts which are
very nice.
 
Here is the result:

Do you want the patch?
 
I only provide my outstanding software patches, free of charge,
to worthy individuals.

Keep it.  The screenshot shows a font that -- while less
jaggy -- is still jaggy.

(My terminal emulator font is "Liberation Mono Regular"
and looks typeset.)

(BTW, if you were serious about open source, you'd patch
the software to allow one to select the font, then send
a pull request to the author.  'Nuff said?)
