Re: IDE for GNAT/Linux?

At the risk of sounding slightly fatuous, why not write your own text
editor, in Ada?  It would be a great way to learn Ada, and you end up with
the perfect editor: written precisely to your own specifications!  Any time
you want to alter or extend it: you can!  It's not too daunting (or
time-consuming) a task, if you start off very simple, and add functionality
as you really need it.
