As evident from the comments above, one of OS X's biggest weak points is feature discoverability. I love how OS X stays out of your way, but most regular users never get to take advantage of greater complexity. You have to be in the mindset of one of 'us' (reading every update to Apple's PR) to get a handle on everything OS X can do.

Hardly, it was well advertised when Lion came out.

Exactly. If you got your first Mac post 10.7 (and you're the average user) you've got no idea you have such a feature.

Maybe you find it one day trolling through the menubar. Maybe you don't.

It's built on node-webkit and chromium, which technically works on Windows, OSX and Linux. Do you seriously think they would make an OSX only editor when there's already so many that work on all platforms?

The download is only available for Mac today, but we are working on the Linux and Windows builds.

Linux Build??....waiting for it
