Have you thought of building on top of a library like CodeMirror (which Light Table is built on)?'

edit: ST2 -> Light Table

I'm actually working on something like this for myself; In the future I hope to support sublime plugins. Entirely haml/coffee, built with node-webkit and ace-editor. Based off of TextDrive a chrome app.

Currently there is a more advanced editor (brackets). But I want total control of the stack. I'm tired of closed source editors (sublime), or overly complex c-based editors (textmate, vi, etc). I think it can be done just as well with web technologies. I also don't like remote editors (cloud9), I want it local.

Light Table takes an entirely difference approach. I'm just going for a simple editor, no-integrated-repl-thingie.

Where on earth did you read that ST2 is build on CodeMirror?
My mistake, I meant Light Table.
No because I work with native platforms (OS X, Linux, Windows) using C++/Go instead of a browser/JS. At least for the time being.
