Hi,
Such strengths could evolve in a superb literate computing tool, even if
it is "restricted" to Python (is something I'm exploring for
Pharo/Smalltalk). Of course is easier said that done, but maybe starting
with a focus on Python could help to bring some prominence to Leo, for
non programmers, taking advantage of the huge Python's ecosystem in
several scientific fields. Using Pyzo and Yoton as inspiration to bring
powerful colorizing, auto-completion and interactive nodes could use
Leo's strengths as an advantage to make it appealing to a broader audience.
Cheers,
Offray

emacs org-mode has found a sweet spot, and Leo will not easily
dislodge org-mode from its prominent place. And now it /is/ possible
to think thoughts in org-mode that previously could only be thought in
Leo.
Still, Leo does have real strengths compared with all other editors
and IDE's:
- Scripting in Python, not elisp.
- A DOM (Document object model) easily accessed via a Python api.
- The Qt toolkit.
- @file & @clean: org-mode has only @nosent.
- Outline-oriented configuration.
- Clones.
- @button scripts and @test unit tests.
etc.
