jps, I hope you’ll reconsider your position on an ARM build. I know several developers who are using Chromebooks, and some who use a Raspberry Pi. All of them were previously ST users but have now had to learn how to use something like Vim or Emacs. The number of users wanting an ARM build might be small now, but with tablets and phones becoming more powerful it’s only a matter of time before people want to start using them as their main dev machine. Ubuntu Touch is a prime example of this movement.
Best regards.
