- Textadept is a real cross-platform desktop application, not a web
- application masquerading as a desktop application from within a web
- browser.
+ Textadept is a real cross-platform desktop application, backed by a
+ world-class editing engine that
+ <a href="http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaRelated.html">dozens</a>
+ of editors and IDEs have depended on for
+ <a href="http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaHistory.html">over 15

Textadept is scriptable in a language that was
- <a href="http://www.lua.org/history.html">carefully designed</a>,
- not a language that was cobbled together in a matter of days or a
- language that was written for (or limited to) a single purpose.
+ <em><a href="http://www.lua.org/history.html">carefully

- Textadept will not consume all of your available RAM and CPU, it
- will not eat your laptop battery, and it will not choke on 2MB
- files.
+ Textadept is very resource efficient, consuming merely 15MB of RAM
+ at startup and hardly any CPU while under load. Even with over 20 of
+ its own source files open at once, Textadept does not exceed 20MB of
+ RAM usage and has no input lag at all.

- Textadept does not suffer from &ldquo;acute package/extension
- syndrome&rdquo;, nor does it encourage such an affliction. The
- editor gives you plenty of the tools you need out of the box.
+ Textadept does not rely on external packages to provide its
+ functionality and does not depend on a package ecosystem to thrive.
+ The editor gives you plenty of the tools you need out of the box.

<li>
Textadept has sensible defaults and does not expect you to spend
hours customizing it before you can start being productive.
</li>
<li>
+ With fewer than 30 main source files comprising less than 6000 lines
+ of heavily documented code, Textadept&rsquo;s internals are
+ remarkably easy to read, understand, keep track of, and extend to
+ your liking.
