The xi editor project is an attempt to build a high quality text
editor, using modern software engineering techniques.
Goals include:
- Incredibly high performance. All editing operations should commit
and paint in under 16ms. The editor should never make you wait for
anything.
- Beauty. The editor should fit well on a modern desktop, and not look
like a throwback from the '80s or '90s. Text drawing should be done
with the best technology available (Core Text on Mac, DirectWrite on
Windows, etc.), and support Unicode fully.
- Reliability. Crashing, hanging, or losing work should never happen.
- Developer friendliness. It should be easy to customize xi editor,
whether by adding plug-ins or hacking on the core.
