What makes me think that TextMaker has been abandened is that it still does not have proper support for VGA screens. The widget set used is either too big or too small.
Softmaker has acknowledged this on their forum but have said that they don't have time to fix the icon set. Also when I asked if the community could resize the icons for them the
reply was that they wouldn't let us try!
As an aside I also found my copy of TextMaker to be really slow when compared to AbiWord but YMMV.
