Never I would have guessed that "xi" is pronounces "gsai". I would pronounce it "shee" (like chinese) or "ksai" (english) or "ksee" (german).

Also, I don't thin we need another editor with a pluggable focus. It's not true that you need plugins to a text editor. It is plugged into an environment that also contains all the other things you need. It interacts via "open file", "read file", "write file" and "close file" with the other tools. It basically _IS_ the plugin for editing files.

And if you really want an editor containing plugins, then there's a load of it out there. You can start with all the IDEs, you can start with Emacs, you can start even with Neovim or Atom. This is not a feature that needs another project.
