Looks ambitious, and happily there's some recent GitHub activity, but I already have Vim and Notepad++. What does Xi have that those two don't?

- skyfaller 7y agoIt's just intended to be way faster than existing editors: "Incredibly high performance. All editing operations should commit and paint in under 16ms. The editor should never make you wait for anything." If it succeeded in that, I think it would pave the way for faster, less-bloated software in general, so I'm rooting for the project to succeed.
- MaxBarraclough 7y agoI like lightweight software, but performance isn't a problem in any modern text editor. Notepad++ and Vim are already light enough. Vim is 'real-time' responsive even over SSH. I don't see much room for improvement.
