What's the problem with that?
Re: Slap: Terminal-based text editor
#13What I like about the project is that it is written in JavaScript and open source. But this: a Sublime-like file sidebar You could as well say, a VIM like sidebar if you install the proper plugin. There is nothing "Sublime-like" about a sidebar, TextMate had this earlier, other editors too. What is with the proliferation of these "Sublime-like" editors lately ? Can't they just stand on their own ? This really looks l…
"... many other features that will make you leave nano, vim, and emacs behind" Well, those three are basically identical, right?
I guess nano doesn't have that kind of religious following, though. I certainly hope so.

#14What options are out there for mouse integration on regular console vim? Or is it best to just run gVim/MacVim/etc?

What do we make of Requires node.js...? The sentiment doesn't reflect an opinion, an argument or anything that wasn't obvious from looking at the repo.

It's a lot like saying that hinduism has features that will make you leave judaism, christianity and islam behind. I guess nano doesn't have that kind of religious following, though. I certainly hope so.

#17Also, anyone know which (if any) of the patched Powerline fonts [0] have the hand unicode icon? (It's slap's icon, and it looks ugly without it.)

I don't understand why every discussion like this devolves into a discussion over who did something first. It's completely irrelevant to the point. The quote you pulled says nothing about Sublime being the only editor to have a sidebar, or Sublime being the first editor to have a sidebar. It says that Sublime has a file sidebar, and this project has a file sidebar that is like Sublime. That is pretty basic statement of fact, your comments about other editors having sidebars is a complete non sequitur.
