-            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

             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
+            designed</a></em> to run on any platform at high speed and with a
+            minimal memory footprint. Lua is used <a

-            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.

           <li>
-            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.

           <li>
             Textadept has sensible defaults and does not expect you to spend
             hours customizing it before you can start being productive.

+            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.

             Did you see that there is a terminal version in case you need to do
             work on a remote server?
