I love kakoune's client-server design. I can open multiple terminal windows instead of terminal splits and panes (which I can never remember the shortcuts). My main gripe is the extension model. Plugins run in a separate process which interacts with the editor by printing kakoune commands to standard output. Marshalling data and proper string escaping is a pain. Not to mention that many plugins are in bash, because it's the minimum common denominator.
