No, it has no chance of replacing Vim because it doesn't run in the terminal and it doesn't come out of the box on most *nix systems. Initially I don't like the title, because it is too vague.

> The version of Textadept for the terminal requires only ncurses. For a while, you could only get ed on most *nix systems. Doesn't mean this couldn't become a new "standard." Vague title? In what way? It's someone's review of why they're using Textadept. (or is this a case where HN changed the title after the fact?)

  The title was edited, originally it was something to the effect of "Finding a replacement for Vim".

  The original title was "I've finally found an editor to replace Vim" or something close.

If his workflow doesn't require him to edit files remotely, it's a valid statement to say that he has replaced vim with textadept (and it works).

It runs on the terminal.
