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.
Con Windows only
EverEdit is not available for Linux and/or Mac.
