Pros
Know any positive aspects of this option?
Cons
Con Reuqires node.js
Slap is written in JavaScript and it requires something to interpret it in a local machine. That something is node.js, but for people who don't need node, it would be a hindrance and an overkill to install node just to use a simple text editor. Also it can only be used remotely if the remote machine has node installed.

This is the only TUI text editor that was able to lure me away from my beloved mcedit (part of Midnight Commander) for any length of time. I do hope someone adopts it and gets it building again on a recent release of NodeJS.
