Bluefish is also very good, but this is designed for web development, also has support for Lua...
Personally I use Mousepad - (Xfce's [too simple] text editor, and there doesn't seem to be any better solution for Xfce); gedit is a GNOME application, so it doesn't work well... I'm not a fan of text-based editors too.
Gedit works fine in XFCE.
Tried and tested.
if & not, Calinou is right, Xfce comes with devian distributed, but can also be used with gnome, you're probably using a gnome distro like Xubuntu (Xfce desktop + Ubuntu)... devian gedit works in, but not just as in gnome...
I personally use the LXDE desktop, is somewhat less light, but for my niece looks more like Windows...

I'm looking to use Minetest as an introduction to Lua programming tutorial for a local kids programming group. From a quick look this tutorial seems to be a great starting point. Is it still up-to-date enough with the current Minetest release (0.4.6 at the time of writing)?
Minetest programming really is a great, easy and fun introduction to Lua Programming. This tutorial should still work, but is incomplete as tons of more features have been added.
It was reworked and published at at the Minetest API page. That page should always contain latest information about the Lua API. For further reference, take a look at doc/lua_api.txt in the download package.
I'm sort of interested the idea of teaching kids programming using minetest... Could you report how it works out once you tried?
Looks good, I like it: Merged.
Looks suitable for beginners, but is still quite short and the documentation you link too isn't really useful for total beginners, but it's the best we have. Some basic Lua guide would also be quite useful (but is subject to add later on, not now),
