Then Scribes won't be much different. It uses the same gtksourceview
widget for text editing, but simply has some nicer features like
auto-completion of words/variables, bracket-matching, templating
("Snippets"), etc.

To each his own, I suppose. I use tabs like mad with Epiphany simply
because I've grown used to it, but every time I try Konqeuror or anything
else that makes use of a tabed interface I always end up configuring it to
open the new documents/workspaces in an entirely new window. *shrug*

I will admit: *that* is *very* cool. I don't know of an equivalent with
GNOME stuff, but could definitely see myself using one should it exist.

You'd need to add it as a network server (Places --> "Connect to server..."),
then it will appear in the list of mounts on the left pane (under the
"Filesystem" and "Desktop" options etc.)

I agree here, that C++ is definitely a better language in terms of what it
can do for desktop application programming and such, but there are those
who write things in C++/gtkmm for GNOME who prefer it. My thinking is that
many people simply like C as a language and so continue to use that instead.
