Thanks for the comment, appreciate it.
I've tried Bespin, they've refreshed it and most of the features that made it awesome are now gone (for the time being). As nice as the editor is, I don't really have much faith in the project anymore. The problem (and also aspect that makes it good) with Bespin is that it uses the HTML5 canvas element. Slow as hell but it's only going to get faster.
I know what you're saying about speed. The goal with my editor since day one was to have it as speedy as possible. I won't settle for mild slowdowns under 5000 lines on a netbook. This is unacceptable considering it is a big portion of the market.
I like the tagging system, it's pretty innovative but I don't think anything else is ready for it yet. Plugins are a good idea too. Everyone likes to write code in their one way.
Thanks once again... :-)
- mishmash 16y agoI would echo the comment on performance with your app and Bespin. I mainly use TextMate and Xcode and they both still have incredibly annoying delays when syntax-coloring largish docs - and that's running native Obj-C/C on a 2.8GHz C2D desktop. So although I wish you luck and am hopeful that we will perhaps one day have a usable cloud-based IDE, still kind of doubtful that it can happen with current JS engines.
