You mean like abandoning Xi in a "not good for anything" state after making big promises?
Sorry for being "this guy" but I'm extremely disappointed about the outcome of the Xi project...
Half way in coming to the conclusion that "building a proper text editor is just to complicated and tedious" is a complete joke. It was clear form day one that solving the over half decade old text editor issue would be a very big thing! And I'm better not saying what I'm thinking if this wasn't clear.
I feel fooled. No matter how smart this person is now I'm extremely skeptical to anything coming form that direction. I have just no faith in people that give up because things start to look complicated. Especially as it was obvious upfront that things will get very very hairy. There's a reason the text editor issue isn't solved until this day and we have to deal with a bunch of 80% solutions.
And now you're fee to vote me into oblivion because I've dared to criticize one of the geniuses out there. (No, I'm not creating throw-aways to voice an unpopular personal opinion as it's usual here; as I am standing to what I'm saying).
