keep up the good work, this has potential.
Really nice start! I've been enjoying modal editing in Vim. One of my pain points is that I feel like I don't have a lot of control over which buffer I'm closing when I :bd or what will happen when I open a new file when selecting it in Nerdtree. Sometimes it replaces a buffer, other times it splits the window. Im sure it's me not understanding how vim works, but I seem to get the mental model in Vico a little better…
So sad that this is closed source. It looks very nice but I feel very uncomfortable knowing that if there are any issues which bug or annoy me or things I would like to have but which do not exist yet, I can do nothing about it.
Yet you use a mostly closed source OS?
The only thing I want in vim is tabs, since I felt that it was faster to switch between tabs in TextMate than having to Command+T everything.

Good answer. Is there no cost whatsoever to having many buffers open? I like the simplicity of just cycling through rather than searching for whats-its-name-again - seems to be easier to remember for my fingers as well. A couple of years ago I used to keep 100s of tabs open in FF. Then I went mobile and started caring about watts. Not the same situation, but I think it influenced my few-files-open habits.
For me there is no cost, but I rarely do the cycle-through-all-tabs thing (not never but rarely). For your workflow it sounds like there is a cost. If you work on multiple projects in the same editor instance then there is a significant cost as well, e.g. you may have 5 index.html files open and when you type the desired filename you then have to choose carefully. I have encountered this when leaving Emacs open for d…

I hope I'm not veering too far offtopic, but I've gotten the Homebrew PPC fork working, what problem are you having?
Sweet! I'm completely unfamiliar with Ruby, which I think is half the problem (edit: and git/github, which is probably the other half). If there's a different file(s) to download for that fork, I can't find them -- everything in the github project seems to link back to https://gist.github.com/323731 , which is the Intel build (edit: e.g., the Readme.md file). I tried replacing my copy of brew with https://github.com/…
First, get the latest version of Xcode that's compatible with your OS. You can find older versions of Xcode by clicking on "Developer Tools" on the right side of this page: http://connect.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MemberSite.woa/w... (you may need a free Apple developer account).
sceaga has a branch for Tiger and another branch for PPC, I happened to be using Tiger on PPC, so I picked the Tiger branch. From https://github.com/sceaga/homebrew , you want to click "Switch Branches" on the left, choose your branch, then click "Download on the right. Or, just click one of these:
https://github.com/sceaga/homebrew/tarball/powerpc
https://github.com/sceaga/homebrew/tarball/tiger
I opted to install into my home directory, rather than /usr/local, so to get it into place, all I had to do was extract the tarball, put the resulting directory where I wanted it (I called it "brew"), and then add $HOME/brew/bin and $HOME/brew/sbin to my $PATH.
If you want it in /usr/local, see the instructions at https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/wiki/Installation , but in the "curl" line, replace their URL with the one you picked above.
You should now be able to type "brew" and see its usage message.
At this point, "brew install" worked for me, except that it wasn't chmodding binaries as executable. At the end of installations, it was giving a bunch of messages like "file: invalid option -- h". This appears to be because my 10.4 PPC version of "file" doesn't support "-h". To fix this, I installed the gnu version instead:
brew install libmagic
chmod +x ~/brew/Cellar/libmagic/5.04/bin/file
brew link libmagic #libmagic doesn't add gnu "file" to your PATH without this command, because it doesn't want to override the OS-provided "file"
1. "brew update" (which updates the package manager
itself) will try to update from the non-PPC, upstream
version of homebrew. I just don't use this command.
2. "brew doctor" complains that my gcc is too old
(because I can't use the latest Xcode) and can't
seem to detect that I have X11 installed, even
though I do.
Let me know how it goes!
several comments, i'm certain someone already mentioned this but you really need to have screenshots on your webpage. anyway, i downloaded the app and my first impression is that this is quite utilitarian though it has a nice cocoa frame. i like the color schemes that you have for default, the page margin and line numbering is essential. keep up the good work, this has potential.
