So you think hacking QT libraries like this (and not from the outside, I mean internally) and using C++ would make a good community editor? http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwidgets-richtext-syntaxhighlighter-e...

When using QT for a highly modular editor be prepared to code QT components from the lowest level. It's not like you take a QT widget and modify it on a simple way. Trust me.

If you think it is easy to code editors look e.g. at the people who write letters and their custom editor tool: Microsoft Word. Now look at the many competitors this program had and how many behave super speedy on all plattforms.
