Hello Chris, I think the proposal made can fully support your criterias, which I fully support.
Both Visual Studio Code & Atom are available on Linux & do not require Internet Access. - So far they only miss Outlines with clones - but - they offer a lot of 'infrastructure', which Leo as an environment will (most likely) never get ... I think it is interesting to discuss what would be needed to create a "Leo experience" in another environment.
