Unfortunately, most abandoned projects don't have obituaries published when they
are abandoned. Maybe it'd easier just to list "pros" and "cons". Features that
work well are "pros". Bugs are "cons".

Or maybe we should have an "endorsed" editor (or editors) where one editor (or a
few editors) is mentioned at the top of the page with a few reasons why it's a
great editor. Personally, I usually use SciTE these days because it's lightweight,
flexible, and supports many languages out of the box. (And it's support of D
syntax includes correct handling of nested comments, too.)
