What I see on the screenshots there should be possible in Textadept.

The (deprecated) debug module has some screen shots that show margin markers:

The styling and symbol choice is configurable.
Not sure how inline diff works though (for deleted lines), do you have an example in another editor?

By default comment strings are not defined in core Textadept. Add them like this:

Or install the Python language module:

I can't point you to a screenshot, but scrollbars are easy to hide:
buffer.v_scroll_bar = false

Understood. I think it is still useful to have a small core base that you can read and understand and adapt if you want to. Don't like the GUI open file dialogs? Someone did a text based interface:

No need to sync back upstream.
I agree with you that 'Unparalleled extensibility.' might be a bold and difficult to actually prove claim.

The terminal version works only on Unix/BSD, but it was only introduced in 5.5. (Which means there might be glitches as well on Linux.)

The code base is actually small and mostly written in Lua, so that it is actually possible to change the editor to your liking.

Textadept is build on top of the Scintilla engine like Scite and Notepad++.

I do use this on OS X and agree that it does not look quite 'native'. It might be possible to port Textadept to be fully native. Scite, which uses the same Scintilla engine, is available as a native OS X app.
It might also be possible to tweak the GTK layouts for the OS X version.

The Windows version is quite portable if you manually set the .textadept home to your USB stick. A while ago I wrote a Portable Apps launcher [1] that did that automatically for you, haven't used it in quite a while though. (I wrote this before GTK was included in the Windows package.)

There are two ways to sell, fixed price (difference to real price is in the end payed by comsumers) or trading it.

> Also, the power network is still very "former East - former West" built, which is not helping. We had 3 years ago a blackout of the West while the East (which includes the part with most of the windmills) was still up.
You're right that the former east has its "own" grid operator [1], but there is much more installed wind power in the north west[2].

Starting next year there will be an extra management bonus in Germany if the wind park is remote controllable. (There are two ways to sell wind energy in Germany, just sell it as it is produced (fixed feed-in-tariffs, EEG) or trade it. In the latter case it makes sense to stop your wind park as prices become negative.)

Privacy, access to different engines (when there is an API), reactive search (refine your search within the results).

As far as I know DDG uses mainly the BOSS API. When I tested the BOSS API for http://kligl.com I found that the reported result count was consistently lower for BOSS compared with the (still) free Bing API, even though the underlying data is the same. That's probably why it is not reported on DDG.
Both only give you the first 1000 results max so it makes no difference in practice.

I integrated HNSearch as well (not yet linked from the main pages):
I found some interesting posts when testing it:

Funny, that the idea of a search engine for the best 10k hackers from PG's essay on start-ip ideas is already 3 years old.
