Panic should stop making editors, and if they _must_ make a new one, they should not continue to make and market "web" editors.
There is a class of tech workers who find apps like this and then stop exploring. As a result, they become marginally effective using Panic's oversimplified workflows, and then stop exploring. I'm thinking in particular of Coda's remote editing - and wouldn't you know it, remote file browser is a promoted feature of Nova too! Built-in diffing is "on their list".
So I naturally assume that anyone who uses Panic's apps is incompatible with any project I'd be working on; because they're going to try to educate me on how much simpler and faster remote editing is than using a VCS. (Edit: and it's not their fault, it's Panic's fault, for trying to make money off text editors for people who are afraid of the command line.)
