I would remove the qcodeedit stuff if you have done a native
implementation (QSyntaxHilighter?) When I implemented it I hadn't
realised that qcodeedit was effectively a dead project, and that there
was something better now natively in QT. I used qcodedit because it
was mentioned in the OpenSCAD TODO.txt. It also adds and extra
external dependency like you say, It does do some nice things like
line numbering and code collapsing, but I didn't utilise those
features

Have a quick read of this thread in case I missed anything:
