No vim mode support?
This is the programmer/IDE-dweeb's version of "well yeah.. but does it run Linux?" Only half joking; the parent's comment is exactly what I thought after searching through the feature list. It's funny how, when forced to work outside of vim, the first thing I (and at least one other person, it would seem) do is try to make the environment as vim-like as possible (with usually-mixed-to-unsatisfactory results). Eclipse…
What differentiates this from Textmate? It so far looks like a clone, which I'm sure is just superficial.
A actively developed and quality casual editor for mac would be great. Textmate is still awesome, but it's getting stale on the innovation side. I can't say I've given Vico a try, but it isn't free ($40). And Kod looked great too, but it's stuck on version 0.0.3. Then again these aren't completely valid complaints. Vim is as great as ever, even though you aren't seeing any shiny big and innovative releases. Perhaps C…
Vico is a good contender for TextMate 2, but it's still pretty buggy for something he charges money for. Chocolat looks more like a contender for TextMate 1 to me... less Vim bindings? I'll probably skip it.
The problem I see is that every new editor isn't featured enough so it falls short compared to peoples editor of choice in some trivial way ("I don't like tabs" or "There's no go to file feature.")

Oh look, another text editor. Just use TextMate if you're on Mac OS X. If you want something cross platform use Sublime Text, and if you want to be awesome and have a few days to customize and learn use VIM or Emacs. I use Sublime Text on my laptops and desktops and vim on my servers. It's the only editors I need for any operating system and any situation.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I like vim's tabs as a way of grouping kinds of buffers into a few categories, eg each tab might gave several split buffers representing a Django app per tab. This isn't how tabs work in most editors though.
Is there a way to expose only certain buffers in certain tabs? My experience has been that all tabs show all loaded buffers... For this reason, I've pretty much forgone tabs in favor of minibufexpl.vim ( https://github.com/fholgado/minibufexpl.vim ), which gives me a pretty robust buffer-display window on the top of the editor and easy navigation keybindings ([shift+]ctrl+tab).
Beautiful landing page, beautiful product. This looks to be an awesome editor. Can't wait.
