I can sympathise with that. The reason for our decision is that there is a low ceiling on how much we can improve matters with Light Table. The problems we are trying to solve turn out to be pretty baked in to existing languages and toolchains and we can't hack around them in the editor. Aurora is a riskier project but it has much more potential to help people.
Also, the fact that Aurora is intended to be simple and easy does not mean that we are building a toy. Quite the opposite - the intention is to remove some of the incidental complexity in programming to leave you free to focus on the actual problems. We intend to bootstrap the compiler and editor by way of dogfooding. I look forward to doing most of my programming in Aurora in the future.
