I am not familiar with Textadept. How does this compare with (g)vim or Sublime? It looks rather nice.
I usually use vim but I spent an evening with it. It's very pleasant, and very snappy.

It might be nice to give someone as a first editor - there's very little to distract.

I gave a try a couple of years ago when looking to replace Textmate.

It held a lot of promise, but was rather slow at the time, so I didn't end up using it.

It is probably much faster now, as there are regular updates and that was probably three versions ago.

I like the concept of Lua as the core. The promise of it being extendable is there.

And I see there is a terminal version as well... cool project.

Everything seems nice and rather well thought out. Unfortunately I was unable to figure out how to disable aliased text.
