I also find it to be very annoying that a new instance of gedit is opened whenever I open another file by double clicking or right clicking on it. I want all text files to open in the same instance.

Clearly some people an instance per file though eg. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=845906 although as someone pointed out above you can do that by right-clicking on the tab within an existing option.

The obvious solution is for there to be a simple configurable option: open all text files in one instance yes/ no.
