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.

Not a video tutorial, but a demo of some Zen-Coding-like HTML editing on YouTube from 2010: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSAinGsc7dA

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.)

> A bold claim to make when your competition includes Vim and Emacs.
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.)
