If I remove the GNOME desktop environment from my Debian 7 installation, will that also remove additional applications like gedit or will they remain installed and usable?
Will purging GNOME remove gedit?

I can't say for sure that purging GNOME will remove gedit, but I can say that gedit will run without gnome, so if you want to use it and remove gnome, just remove gnome then re-install gedit.
