I have often written Gambas code in emacs, leafpad or kate.  I found a 
visual-basic-mode.el file years ago for emacs that works more or less 
for Gambas highlighting, and that could probably be modified to 
create a gambas-mode.  In kate, the MonoBasic highlighting (which I 
assume is meant for VB.NET) seems to work okay as well.

I usually work in the IDE (especially when I have forms to design) but 
it's great to be able to fire up my choice of editor, write code and 
go "gbc2", "gbx2" when I just want to make some changes to a project.
