I just wanted to plug an up-and-coming editor called Howl (http://howl.io). Written in and extended using Lua (actually Moonscript), not Javascript, and definitely very easy to extend. As an ex-emacs users I do find it similar in some respects.

I'm biased of course since I use and develop for Howl :)

Just downloaded it. It is really really zippy for at least small files! Will explore it more extensively over this week!

Excellent! It should be zippy for largish files too :D

Here's a link to video segment showing opening a large number of files: https://youtu.be/FmxKXWXj90c?t=24m50s
