The xi editor project is an attempt to build a high quality text editor, using modern software engineering techniques. Goals include: - Incredibly high performance. All editing operations should commit and paint in under 16ms. The editor should never make you wait for anything. - Beauty. The editor should fit well on a modern desktop, and not look like a throwback from the '80s or '90s. Text drawing should be done with the best technology available (Core Text on Mac, DirectWrite on Windows, etc.), and support Unicode fully. - Reliability. Crashing, hanging, or losing work should never happen. - Developer friendliness. It should be easy to customize xi editor, whether by adding plug-ins or hacking on the core. WWW: https://xi-editor.io
