A video tutorial too would be awesome.

  Not a video tutorial, but a demo of some Zen-Coding-like HTML editing on YouTube from 2010: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSAinGsc7dA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSAinGsc7dA

  Scrollbar chrome makes me instantly lose interest. If there was a screenshot without this (is there a terminal version?), I would regain interest. Screenshots are important especially to people like me who may or may not care. They're the fastest way for a potential user to answer the question: is this worth caring about at all. Some questions you can answer with screenshots: - Does it run on my platform? - Are there any glaringly ugly things about it that will be a dealbreaker? - Is it more beautiful/cool than what I'm already using? - To what extent can it be customized? - What kind of people are using it (if you have user screenshots)?

    I can't point you to a screenshot, but scrollbars are easy to hide: buffer.v_scroll_bar = false

      Does this support tiled windows in a terminal like Vim or Emacs? Relying on a terminal multiplexer to provide that is less than ideal I think. Looks good otherwise. Not to my taste, but it is refreshing to see a new text editor that actually seems like it was written by someone who understands the variety of use-cases of text editors.

Unfortunately the GTK theme it is shipped with is a little off putting on OSX. http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/4600/screenshot20121119at205.png http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/4600/screenshot20121119at... The save dialog is standard GTK as well, not OSX.
