> For the rest, it seems that vi and emacs do what would be needed, and work on everything. Why not just improve on those two products instead of making new ones that are simply short lived fads? While I get why new editors pop up, and really, I'm glad we have people trying to innovate and introduce new ideas, I'm ultimately more interested in stuff like the Neovim project, for this reason. I will say it's nice when someone creates a new product that has a killer feature or two, because some form of that seems to make it's way back to vim/emacs pretty often.
