A better 'bus factor'.

It would greatly suprise me if either Atom of VSCode shut up tomorrow. They couldn't entirely shut up, as they are both entirely open source projects.

The Sublime Text website could just close tomorrow if one person got badly hurt / lost interest, and then the executable could not work on Mac OS X 10.11.6 for some reason, and it is done.

I've had too many pieces of software go that way to get another one which is so fundamentally important to me (text editor).
