I'll have to try it.
It occurs to me that in this era of RAM hardware shortage, resource-frugal applications like this one could become more prevalent.
Anyway I guess we'll see if that happens.
Edit: Downloaded, running under Windows.
Impressive. Loads fast, looks pretty polished. Highlighting for many languages included "obscure" ones that I sometimes use.
Mem used: 7.9MB (gvim 12.2MB, emacs 35.5MB, vscodium 291.1MB)

The plan is to add as less new features as possible and keep the same performance/launch time/memory and disk footprint as it is currently.
