Specs
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro First-class mouse support
Slap supports mouse keybindings even though it works inside the terminal and also through SSH.
Pro Uses desktop-like keybindings
Slap features configurable keybindings (Ctrl+S, Ctrl+Z, etc).
Pro Great terminal interface
Pro Full GTK3 integration
The UI is fully GTK3 compatable, so it themes to match your desktop and the functions are all in expected locations.
Pro Light UI stays out of the way but does provide all expected widgets
The overall UI is very trim and doesn't take up screen space for no reason, but all the expected bits like tabs and popups and even the command line have native widgets.
Pro Support for ligatures
Fonts with ligatures can be used to render code.
Cons
Con Requires 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. Furthermore, it can only be used remotely if the remote machine has node installed.
Con CLI only
Slap only runs through the terminal.
