Personally, I think the gtk-2 requirement effectively limits leafpad to dsl-n and the extensions (the dsl version of beaver uses gtk-1). Personally, I like my RAM footprint smal; just to demonstrate the difference, the gzipped tarballs of gtk+2 and requirements are ~20MB in size, while a gzipped tarball of gtk+1 is roughly 10MB in size. Though that decreases for the libraries themselves, gtk+2 still uses a lot more RAM, and space.
(However, I do suspect leafpad &c. have better performance than beaver, which begins to slow down when working on files > 300 lines.) Also, leafpad doesn't seem to have any syntax highlighting, so it would be rather useless as a replacement for a 'lightweight programmer's editor'.
EDIT: Maybe Minimum Profit? It runs on gtk+1.2, curses, gtk+2, etc., and seems to be well ported too. Though, it may be slightly larger than beaver (though I can't be sure, the beaver FTP site seems to be down...)
Personally, I'm a vim guy myself, so don't expect me to be very well informed.

System:
eTower 566.12, 32MB RAM, 7GB HD, 200MB swap, 1x USB v.1, Intel 810GFX, Intel 810 Audio.
Recompiled so far: Pretty much everything. I think I'll have to do a remaster to cut the growing bloat off my system.
