I do. I wrote both of my editors in Schliemann, and then re-wrote them when it was abandoned. There was some discussion at the time about why it was unsupportable, or perhaps just obsolete but I don't remember the details. However, that experience is part of why I am proposing an "editor generator" instead of another scripting language.
When developing a JavaCC or ANTLR grammar most tools require you to write the grammar first, in text, and then provide tools for visual representation. As a software developer I have found this process to be tedious and error prone, and a lot of important meta data is lost. I propose to reverse the process, using a data model that can be manipulated by visual editing tools to model the language (and editor features), from which code can be generated and maintained. Additional plugins could be written that do other things with the model.
