#4That headline hurts my brain. Awful start. Why not "how web based text editors manage their text" or "a glance at the text management of web based text editors"

That will make a good weekend read thanks! Others may be interested in Data Structures for Text Sequences by Charles Crowley[0] which describes Piece Tables. This is the basis for the Vis editor[1].

#10"There is a huge opportunity here to contribute to Atom and make it way better than it already is. Write a piece chain text buffer implementation. Write a gap buffer implementation. Anything but using a regular array like this."
