I think that a new text editor must be created, with text interface (and maybe GUI later).

I think that the only things we have to implement are:
1. Most vim bindings (not all, but most), just altered a bit in the way they behave.
2. Fantastic syntax highlighting
3. Fantastic auto-completion (a small menu appears while you type and you press tab to accept or ctrl/alt to navigate).
4. Code folding
5. Snippet/template support
6. Documentation while you type

They may seem a lot and difficult, but they already exist here and there, just not all compiled in a suckless way.
I've tried most of the said editors and I simply can't live without my beloved vim bindings.

We NEED a new editor.
