Bug Description

In my opinion Scratch is more than a text editor. It is a code editor and it can be extended to a full blown IDE.
Furthermore the actual icon reminds me of a note-taking app.

Harvey's icon is way better take a look :

I think that icon looks too similar to Terminal's icon

A better icon would be accepted but the Harvey's one is, as Kathen said, too similar to Terminal's icon.

A similar icon like this would match : http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/049/b/c/sublime_text_by_davi_1-d4q4w17.jpg

It has indentation, syntax colouring and a pen on it.

It is very nice. Maybe having an svg would be good :)
