This IDE/text editor has some very good ideas, but I would never use it because it doesn't seem like it will be open source, free software, or even freeware. I wouldn't rely on a text editor that can't be improved and changed by the community. Besides, it seems to run inside the browser, and most browsers (even for a single tab) consume quite some RAM. Good luck, nonetheless!

at least read the description of the product you are criticising...

It will absolutely be open source. You just didn't read the FAQ ;)

Did you even look at the page? On the page it clearly states that it will be open source and will be extendable using javascript.

On the mailing list Chris also mentioned that it "will likely use a browser somehow, but that might be abstracted away into a webview or some such thing so you wouldn't really know."
