Couldn't agree more. I wrote up similar thoughts a few months ago where I tried to outline a lightweight protocol that would be implemented at the editor level (as a plugin) to support common editor functions such as opening files, switching tabs, and of course real-time syncing.

I hadn't even considered a cross text-editor solution/protocol. That's a fantastic idea.

You misspelled Vim.

Clearly you don't understand that Emacs is a perfectly suitable Vim.

Why would I emulate perfection?
