The plugin system is a disaster in this project. Basically, each "plugin" is just a Lua script that can (and often does) modify absolutely anything in the editor, including core data structures and other plugins.
The original Lite was an exercise in creating a minimal editor, which I think succeeded. This project tries to take that base and expand it to add a ton of features, but doesn't re-architect it to support that expansion. So instead, you have a big bowl of Lua flavored spaghetti.
On the bright side though, it does seem like the maintainers are dedicated to keeping it working. So if you're looking for a text editor, you could do worse than Lite XL.
