Anyone interesting in using this to create a code-editor / IDE? I'm dying to try my hands at a next gen IDE created using a game engine :D

Yes, Godot are doing that. The Godot IDE is created with the Godot engine.
Check out Glass Editor https://glasseditor.com/ it's made using an unreleased game engine.
...god, my eyes, they hurt, that design, they're bleeding now ...you almost made me change my mind of whether this would be a good idea :)

(Hint: I'm interested in mostly using this for creating a graphically rich but minimalistic distraction-free ADHD-friendly experience ...that could also be usable in VR for even more distraction free coding - I mean since most pro devs touch type anyway, using a keyboard in VR would just work for us, without any extra stuff.)
