Xi is orders of magnitudes more mature than Phi. You can't compare 76 contributors and 1128 commits vs 1 contributor and 103 commits.

Of course you can compare them. One is way more mature, use that.

I don't even think Phi is intended to be anything other than an individual/hobby project. Has the author even commented here yet?

My point is it's not like they are intending Phi to replace sublime, they're probably just doing it for fun. Even if they are more serious, they're being honest about its short comings right now.

If you thought they were trying to determine which one to use, you misread the situation.

You can also compare apples to oranges.
