> For the curious, Nova has built-in support for CoffeeScript, CSS, Diff, ERB, Haml, HTML, INI, JavaScript, JSON, JSX, Less, Lua, Markdown, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, Sass, SCSS, Smarty, SQL, TSX, TypeScript, XML, and YAML.
Youre supporting stuff like Diff and Haml, but not stuff like Go or Rust?
I used to have coda. I guess they renamed it Nova: https://panic.com/coda/ I wanted to love (Coda) it but it wasn't good enough for me to switch. This looks slick, but I work multi-platform so this while it looks great, if doesn't do linux I'm out. They even talk about the lack of cross platform in the copy. If I need speed I'll use Vim or emacs. For day to day I bought the JetBrains suite. For a pretty inovative com…
(personally, I kept waiting for such a vision to make sense and ended up running Sublime Text on a Linux tablet pc instead)
I really wanted to like Nova. I paid for it (and used it) for a year. In the end, though... I switched back to VS Code. Native apps like this are much faster than such things, but I had too many use cases for the plugins. Kind of the same experience as Sublime Text. It's _really fast_, but I just rely too much on plugins when the experience requires something more than vim.
I had a similar experience, but -- possibly counter-intuitively! -- ended up going mostly all-in back on BBEdit 14 when it was released with LSP support which has proven to be a lot less, well, flaky than Nova. I like VS Code a lot and may yet return to it as my main coding editor if I go back to a big project, but BBEdit has always been my old warhorse when it comes to my technical writing because it's just such a S…
I have very specific and weird needs. For example, I need syntax highlighting for LaTeX, but in a non-mathematic-but-programmatic-control-of-layout way.
VS Code supports that, oddly enough. No other text editor does.
> "No-Fuss Analytics & Privacy Settings" I can't recall a time that analytics have ever made a "fuss" for me, but that's not why I dislike them :( I don't own a modern Mac, so I can't check the settings out myself, but that's the first thing I would look at after reading this in the features list. Looks great otherwise though, and it's cute how it rhymes with "Coda".
It's probably alluding to https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/telemetry which isn't exactly straight forward.
I've admired Panic for the entirety of my career, they're always doing really nice work, and I'm glad they're still going strong in a time where native desktop apps aren't really the du jour.

If it's an independent business since 1997 the implication is they're not for sale, so equity wouldn't be likely to achieve any liquidity, hence relatively meaningless.

Other companies have done similar for decades/centuries.

This only follows for businesses that do not pay a dividend. Assuming Panic is profitable, equity could easily result in profit-sharing or dividends. Facilitating employee share sales would also allow employees to take on more or less Panic risk depending on their personal tolerance. Other companies have done similar for decades/centuries.
