I don't "plan" to, but I hope for it to be possible. In a couple of years, yes.
LightTable shows great promise as an editor and it's design makes it well suited to being an environment in the future.
I'm just worried that before LT gets to become what I want it to Emacs will already have what is attractive in LT. For me it's ClojureScript and much more flexible UI. If Emacs gets Guile as it's scripting language (and I think: Scheme > Clojure > Elisp) and it's UI somewhat reworked (and threads, and easy bindings to compiled code - all of which is being worked on or at least seriously considered), the decision to migrate to LT will get much harder.
Anyway, LT is the only possible choice for me other than Emacs. There is no other editor which could replace Emacs for my use cases and I don't see new ones emerging.
As a side note: I have some hope for editor embedded in Pharo. It got much better this year and continues to evolve, and being a part of Smalltalk image it is very easily hackable. Having strong editor with things like Moose/Roassal/Glamour natively integrated would be a huge win, but that's probably something I will need to do myself :)
If you are interested in helping with the Editor and improving text support in general... the first step is to help with the new text model. If you are interested, contact us. It would be nice to have that ready for Pharo4 :-)
I was under the impression that the new editor is already in Pharo 3? I don't remember all the details, but I think I at one point saw some rich editing classes while browsing packages in my image. It implemented line-numbers and other niceties. But it may have been something I installed from squeaksource. Anyway, I only recently started playing with Pharo 3, and noticed many improvements to editor, but didn't have the time to investigate so I just assumed it's already done.
I would really like to contribute somehow to Pharo development, it's absolutely fantastic piece of software. I went through tickets on official bug-tracker, but there are many of them and it's hard to tell which are important and which are being worked on. (BTW: Komitter is a very nice idea!) I didn't write to the mailing list, because I don't have (especially lately) enough time to do anything substantial; I just wanted to get some simple regression (for example) which I could fix in a couple of minutes/half an hour. The section of bug tracker with tickets like this would be a great help. Otherwise I'll certainly try to get involved more once I have a bit more free time :)
