This editor is (will be?) heavily inspired by antirez' kilo editor, and the vis modal editor, albeit with my own twist.
Very good question. I wanted to take a crack at building my own tooling, just for the sake of it, but there is a method to the madness: I've always wanted an editor that is not just language aware, but framework aware. That's the long-term goal here, to have an editor that picks up on the particular use-cases that each framework exposes, to allow for extremely powerful autocorrect.
