I am afraid this is project is stalling. I would like open source alternative to Sublime. I use Emacs as of now, but it is funny how so many years down the line, we can't make good, robust editor that is focused on performance. Sure eye candy should be present in some degree (I am bitch about colors and nice UI, since I spend a lot of time in it, I like to make it look cool to me, but I always put performance and function on first place). Xi looks like it has potential, but it is pretty early in development. I just hope Ralf sticks to it, and in few years I think we will have great editor, with right technology, right philosophy and hopefully right community.
