Eve is - was, when I last checked - a poor reiteration of Smalltalk with a bit of CWEB bolted on top. You can get much more mature implementation if you just download Pharo, with the added benefit of Pharo being native, not browser-based.

Chris is one of very few people in tech that I genuinely dislike, because he managed to get me to believe in him and in LighTable, only to dump LT and make me feel stupid. LT was an ambitious project, promising to finally deliver something better than Emacs for working with dynamic languages and there was a chance of it being completed in this decade. Eve is a moving target and after two years it's not any closer to being a practical tool.

Personally, I need a modern, powerful editor, preferably polyglot, with tight integration with languages runtimes and Emacs-level scriptability - and that's what LT promised. It could have been a real, immediate improvement in how I work with code. Switching to Eve development is adding a gorilla and a whole jungle in fire to the banana we (LT backers) originally needed. Not to mention, Chris failed to complete a simpler project, I see no reason to believe he'll do a good job on Eve.
