Plus, it really is badly behaved if it writes a "new" file - when it should know it's
modifying an old file - and doesn't bother to inform the user that the file
moved. _That_ should be fairly simple to both fix and get attention for.

Gedit is able to detect changes to an open file - it brings up a warning.

It also detects if the file has been moved and presents the user with
"do you want to save" dialog - though this can be confusing: the file
edit flag isnt set, so it appears saved (this has caught me out a
couple of times).
