Thanks for the update. Since most of the innovation in editors seems to be happening in products aimed at software development and team collaboration—a very large market and growing—it perhaps makes sense that FoldingText’s newest incarnation would appear in Atom because it fits well with users who have a lot of detailed tasks to track in doing thir work.

It’s not like there are dozens of people working with Jesse to develop products—AFAIK, he’s on his own—so he’ll have to pick and choose where to best invest his time. Inevitably some users will be left behind and disappointed, but independent developers have to make tradeoffs that are guaranteed to please some and really displease others. The scenario has been part of the history of development for a very long time.
