This looks pretty cool, there seems to be Vim shortcuts [1] and even theming. Judging from your screenshot, Solarized Dark is the default theme? But I'd have to wait until its release (or beta, should I be so lucky!) to consider moving from standard vim editor and Solarized in my Xresources. [1] https://github.com/atom/vim-mode
I always wonder why I learned emacs over vim. There is never support for it.

#182Am I the only one who finds it hard to believe this has indeed been leaked and is not just a marketing strategy from Github? The repos are not even private.

#184A text editor in a browser? There seems a lot of excitement about it but I can't work out why - can anyone explain? I'm not trying to be argumentative; I really am curious! It's for editing text and there appears to be massive excitement about it....?
There are some well known web IDEs like C9 etc that don't really appeal to me and there is a Chrome app called Caret that look very Sublime Text like but lacks plugins. I am happily working with vim and tmux (although I have Sublime Text in a chroot if I felt the need) but Web IDEs have potential.
I had a play with something called godev and it had support for godoc, go-oracle, godef, fmt etc as well as all the usuals like syntax highlighting etc based on Eclipse Orion. It lacked a lot of editor features though and things like git integration so it wasn't really practical but it made me realise there is potential for self hosting a web ide.
I get the feeling there is a space for an open web ide to take off. Many of the current offerings are tied to hosted services and don't look overly customisable.

I love the edit markers in the last screenshot. But too skeptical about the performance of a text editor running in webkit. All of my experiences writing text online have been bad. So the jump into using webkit for an entire dev environment fills me with dread.
This is already possible using gitgutter in both Vim and ST, and I've never noticed an impact on performance.

Codebox works awesomely well, and you can host it locally. Still has bugs, but they do releases often.
To put "often" in context, I raised a Github issue on it today which was resolved within a few hours, it's improving incredibly quickly (and it's already awesome).
We use to for Go and Docker. Currently, it's very nice. Even has auto-complete - though it has a long way to go.

I'm confused, why would they be working on React and SpacePen? Don't they do (roughly) the same job?
