The record

Product: Gummi is described as a simple LaTeX editor.

Editor themes: Users can choose alternative editor colour schemes, and custom styles can be placed in ~/.config/gummi/styles.
Command snippets: Users can assign shortcut keys or command text to commonly used LaTeX blocks; some examples are preconfigured.
Spell checking: Spell checking is off by default and requires selecting a language and having gtkspell installed.

Export: The documented file operations include exporting to PDF.
Supported packaging: The install guide lists packages for Ubuntu, Debian, Gentoo, Arch, Slackware, OpenBSD, macOS/NetBSD, and Windows.
