       Ask HN: Alternative to Emacs with Undo-tree functionality?
        
       I have been using Emacs for about 10 years and am getting tired of
       its idiosyncrasies and performance hiccups. I tried a bunch of
       alternative editors with scripting support (most recent being
       TextAdept) but none of them seem to have a native Undo-Tree [1]
       features or an API powerful enough to build it. So, I am asking
       here: are there any non-Electron based editors with a reasonably
       decent scripting layer or a plugin system, and Undo Tree
       functionality.  PS: I know that Vim has it, but I've never been
       able to get comfortable with Vim and other Vim-like editors.  [1]:
