Light Table is a free, customizable, functional, and open-source IDE with a modern User Interface, plugin support, command pane, and connection manager

I'll stick with (g)vim personally but there's probably a few of you who'll find this interesting enough, if only to rag on it in the comments.

    Did Granger fail to deliver any of the promises in the Kickstarter? If he fulfilled all of the original goals - and I think he did - then what's wrong with him abandoning the project?

    I tried LightTable, but for better or for worse (mostly for worse) I pay my mortgage working on Java. If I could convince an employer to pay me for working on Clojure, I might have used it more often. I may install it again for fun, so I'm glad it came up.

    I looked at Eve, but I'm not sure how intuitive it is. Might be fun to try, though. One of the things I give Granger for is being able to accept when he screwed up, and to give his work to real people and watch them use it and recognize what he got wrong. He was the manager for Visual Studio at Microsoft for a while, then he built Light Table, and now this. Eve may never amount to anything, but it might actually end up being pretty cool.

    No clue, I wasn't involved in it. Doesn't matter, though, because it still gave a bad impression to a lot of people, because it still had plenty of bugs and polish needed when he went "k, I'm out, have fun fixing it!" That had a real effect on development and support, and when it happened a lot of the momentum went away. It's a nice editor, though, and like I said, hopefully development is picking up steam again. It's been long enough now that maybe it can start being seen as a community project, instead of the abandoned experiment of one person.
