Why is it worth to add this package?

NEdit(Nirvana text editor) is a great editor and it's especially great at loading huge files, it supports Unicode and lots of features and it's fast.
gedit is also a well-known text editor which is quite useful when you plan on using x11/ a desktop along with termux.
I checked and none of these text editors are available at the time of writing this request

I have added a pull request to add the gedit package. Would you like to test the packages from GitHub Actions artifacts of that pull request? Link https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/actions/runs/9041647919

I did not add nedit package because the last commit in that project was 4 years ago.

the last release came in 2021 version 5.7.3.
NEdit is pretty fast and capable editor, not having it would be a shame imho.
if for any reason we cant have nedit because its 3 years old, there's another fork called xnedit : https://github.com/unixwork/xnedit which is up to date (forked from 5.7) which can be used instead imho.

by the way, the gedit package was installed without any issues, just had to install gspell and then everything installed and it seems it's working properly 🙂
