For years I used Komodo IDE, which is (was?) written using XUL — writing plugins for it was a breeze even though the docs were a little lacking, because JavaScript and XUL got me exploring easily. I miss that editor. Now everyone’s moving away from it. Ahead of its time indeed!

Ah, Komodo! I wrote a bunch of extensions for it [1][2][3] that got me started with XUL. I loved both. XUL always felt like every feature you can think of was available and thoroughly thought out, you just had to discover it (not always straightforward given how lacking the documentation was, especially for internal/private APIs). XUL was way ahead of its time.
