The plan for 0.5 by Chris Granger.
From the post:
You guys have been waiting very patiently for a while now, so I wanted to give you an idea of what’s coming in 0.5. A fair amount of the work is in simplifying both the UI/workflow as well as refactoring everything to get ready for the beta (plugins!). I’ve been talking with a fair number of people to understand how they use LT or why they don’t and one of the most common pieces of feedback I’ve gotten is that while it is very simple it still seems heavier than something like Sublime. We managed to attribute this to the fact that it does some unfamiliar things, one of the biggest of which is a lack of standard menus. We don’t really gain anything by not doing menus and while there were some technical reasons I didn’t, I’ve modified node-webkit to fix that. So I’m happy to say 0.5 will use standard menus and the ever-present bar on the left will be disappearing. This makes LT about as light as it possibly can be and should alleviate the feeling that you can’t just use it as a text editor.
Looking forward to the first week or two of August, 2013. Chris’ goal for the 0.5 release!
