In some respects similar to Brackets as it is a desktop app exploiting web technologies (JS front end) - and like Brackets we are sitting somewhere between 'basic editors' and a full blown IDE . However, there are some key differences in terms of tech and where we are heading.

From a tech point of view we are full JS end to end (server being a Node app). In terms of the features of the software itself, Brackets with quick-edits is going in a slightly different direction to us as we are making much more investment in understanding the source structure, with our recoverable JS parser and AMD/CommonJS awareness. We're focusing on smarter inferencing and better content assist for JavaScript - mainly because those are the real pain points we are having as programmers working with the language.

Scripted doesn't yet have the deployment story but obviously we are interested in that space and also some nice integrated debugging - but we don't want to unnecessarily duplicate the excellent Chrome Dev Tools.

Similarly, how does this stack up against good 'ol vim? I always get excited when I see a new editor project, but it ends up being nigh impossible to give up the comfort of my vimrc...

Does Vim (or any of its plugins) support Javascript autocomplete based on type inference?

I'm sure Scripted (or Brackets) can't match Vim general text editing, but if the type inference / CommonJS integration is good - it is certainly an advantage.

Nothing compares to vim.

Brackets seemed like a viable editor to compare it to since it seems to target the same developer niche.

Also, what about the popular Cloud9 editor and Nide? http://coreh.github.com/nide/
