  Are 5k monitors that popular? Do they even exist? I think it makes sense to make editor available on maximum number of platforms. Things like filling rectangles or scrolling have been hardware optimized for years on Windows without using any OpenGL and it works even on ancient graphic cards. So I think it might be a better technology for a text editor.

    > Are 5k monitors that popular? Do they even exist? Yes - for example, Apple has been shipping 5K 27” displays in iMacs for three years now.

      Is the iMac popular? You struggle to find a 5K display outside that one machine that Apple doesn't seem all that fussed about compared to their laptop and iOS offerings.
