Would anyone who uses this care to describe how it compares to other text editors we might be more familiar with (vim, emacs, TextMate, Notepad, ...)? The minimap is obvious (and a very nice idea); what else is in there?
I use vim, but I've been thinking lately that all you really need to efficiently edit text are the above things listed. Vim and Emacs are extremely powerful, but your first experience with them was probably awful, and the learning curves are steep. Is a powerful AND intuitive text editor possible?
I interprete the exchange this way: question "how does it stack up". answer: "meets minimum bar".
I downloaded it and tried it out on some python code. It has run your project and there is a console for running python apps. Anything else I missed?
It is very pretty.
