Hi Viktor, Sorry, I was unfamiliar with code.
Both it and atom are editors. Leo is an editor and then some. It would be interesting to write a "code" Leo or a "atom" Leo, somewhat like Edward wrote a "vim" Leo. Make it keystroke and gui identical (Leo encompasses all of the functions of either/or) and then enjoy the added features of Leo with the exact same functionality of both. I see Leo as far more than an editor and have stuck with it for so long as the small subset of features I need is constantly expanding. That said, both atom and code also far surpass what I need in an editor.
