Very impressive.

Font Rendering does not seem to be as crisp as needed for a text editor. (on Windows at least)

I know Sublime is using DirectWrite to render fonts on Win32, this might be something to explore. Also, TrueType with subpixel antialiasing should give good results but might need some tweaking.

I'll follow this project and I might use it as my main editor once it is more mature :)

When I run this editor on Windows 10 the text appears to me as crisp as in any other editor I have available.
Do you have a high dpi display? Lite does neither supixel-aa nor hinting, which is very noticeable on a 24" 1080p display. The lack of hintig is most noticeable at the top of letters where sharp edges look blury.
