FoldingText has been discussed here before. Looking for progress recently, I was, at first, disappointed to discover that more than a year had passed without updates to the Mac version, but then I was pleased to learn that a new version of FoldingText has been designed as a plugin for the Atom text editor:

Atom, incidentally, has just reached version 1.0:

I have tested the plugin only minimally so far— I just wanted to share the info for others who might be interested. But I do think there is a lot to be said for this particular category of outliner software: plugins for text editors. And I think developers could go much further: one idea that occurs to me would be to create smart folders and/or filters to isolate particular lines within a text-based outline.
