What is Reddit's opinion of Textadept?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Oh dear interwebs, please please add a date to your CHANGES or NEWS file. I really want to know how old/stable is the software, especially a text editor, a terminal editor, that which I plan to use on my server which has been up for 5 years.

Other than that, looks cool.

I also use Textadept. It comes in both GUI and non-GUI versions. If you're used to configuring Emacs in Lisp, you can use Lua to do the same for Textadept.

That is my favorite feature of TextAdept: PEG parsers for syntax highlighting and other needs. It's a really cool editor that like Emacs is extensible, has a small core written in C, but is mostly written in its extension language (which is Lua).

Would you like to try textadept? It's a really nice text editor including both a CLI and a GUI, with text folding, quite a number of plugin, scriptable in Lua, cross-platform and, last but not least, including the CUA (C-X/C-V/...) shortcuts.

Otherwise, I'd also recommend Kate. However, it doesn't satisfy your request for a CLI editor.

I've never seen or heard of Textadept, so thanks for introducing me to it. I will check it out sometime. Superfically it looks similar to Howl but that's based only on a quick glance; I'm sure there are significant differences between the two.

> How does your editor compare to it?

My editor of choice is GNU Emacs, and even though I've never used Textadept, its official site describes Textadept as "minimalist", which no sane person would ever use to describe GNU Emacs, heh.
