Just curious - why replace vim or emacs?

Don't tell me, because I use both (mainly emacs), but maybe is to do something like this https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BITBUCKET/Edit+onli...

It can be strategic even if limited to quick edits and for some subsets of the repository now. Anyway I can think of a GitHub augmented with an IDE and integrated with a CI and CD system with deployment to a Heroku. It could let you write code from pretty everywhere, occasionally even on a tablet or a large phone. Somebody will use it.

GitHub has been slowly tricking me into doing more and more of those quick edits on their site. If they can work Atom in as seamlessly as their other updates I'm sold. Somehow I'm still circumspect.

emacs doesn't have decent support of jsx: the jsx-mode is actually for another tech with same name, the js2-mode is great except xml support.

i love vim a lot (use evil in emacs), except vimscript. I hope oneday I could use neovim with atom/st2 as frontend.

I use web-mode to edit JSX. It's not bad at all actually - the indentation and highlighting are there. I've started using web-mode for its intended purpose, too (when editing templates that have CSS and JS snippets).
