I really want to suggest rewriting it in native code. A web based editor is a fine side project but if you want it to be a business people pay for, it needs to have native performance. It's popular to claim that the web is near native performance, but honestly, it's a load of horseshit. Web performance is better than it's ever been but it still has a long way to go before it's anywhere near native.

But then he will spend a huge amount of time replicating functionality that browsers provide, functionality which is hard to implement and hard to maintain. Also will loose advantage of being easy to extend. But on what kind of computer did you test this? On my windows desktop it is as fast as sublime. On mac scrolling isn't smooth, but from chrome timeline i see that it is choppy because it doesn't handle scroll events correctly, not because of performance.
