I see.
The direction it's taking is not bad at all if it ends with libraries for
the most common parts of an IDE, it would be a matter of implementing a
particular workflow for every IDE and reusing the same components (such as a
text editor, completion, build system integration, ...) will help not
waisting resources on implementing the same thing over and over.
