they could use WebGL and an engine that supports ASMjs. But it wouldnt make sense since it's not a web app. IMHO,it's a mistake to use webtechs to code a serious text editor. TextEds require great performances,if I cant open a 3MB with it,it's just not worth it. They could have kept javascript/coffeescript for plugins and write the UI in C/C++.Javascript is fast with engines like V8,the DOM is absolutely not fast at all.
