I'm really impressed with this so far! It's very fast and looks great. The lexer I was able to find within 30 seconds of opening it for the first time highlights Haskell code better than Sublime- I'm not seeing weird syntax errors like I do in Sublime and quasiquoting works correctly.

I immediately miss "Find in files" bound to Control P in Sublime- I didn't see similar functionality in a list of plugins https://github.com/halfbrained/cudatext_plugins_list but I may have missed it.

I've been looking for a go-to lightweight editor so I'll keep trying it out. I know some people will disagree but it doesn't quite sit right with me that Sublime charges $100 and not only relies on the community to maintain plugins, but charges those plugin maintainers as well (if they don't want to get hit with nag messages). I don't think that's really working out.

Edit: Title referred to this editor as "open source version of sublime" at the time of the writing of this comment



The FindInFiles plugin is mentioned in that plugin list. Version 4 is better than 3.
