The "And Light Table" section leaves a lot to be desired. I get that it's not abandoned but development.. used to be active on it and now?
I mean Light Table is a great IDE but it just needs so much done. It feels like 95% complete in every corner. The vim keybindings are buggy, Python plugin lacks proper virtualenv/custom python support, performance is not quite there either... I forget all the issues I encountered back when I used it but there has been very few releases since and it's super concerning to just see what was once an extremely active project slowly go in maintenance mode.
Please, quell my fears. You guys put together an amazing Kickstarter and used to put out so much in terms of updates and feature updates; I don't see that anymore.
With all that said, best of luck with Eve, sounds awesome.
... Edit: I think these graphs are pretty telling. https://github.com/LightTable/LightTable/graphs/code-frequen...
I'm also really disappointed with this announcement. I had been putting off learning Emacs because I told myself "don't bother, give ibdknox and friends some time to put some polish on LightTable, and you'll have a modern Emacs".
Looks like it's time to dive into Emacs...
and there's also vim-fireplace:

By all means, if you don't want to use emacs then you don't have to!
