Xed vs Pluma vs Gedit

Are these three text editors essentially the same ? do they all offer the same functionality ? Do they have identical plugins ? is the plugin development for them the same ?

Many Thanks

I don’t know about Xed but Pluma is a fork of GEdit from the GNOME 2 era (as with other apps, MATE itself being a fork of GNOME 2). I’m not sure if the plugins and functionalities have changed a lot between GEdit 2 & 3, the most radical change has been the UI which has been redesigned to use the CSD titlebars of GNOME 3.
