 Replying to [comment:105 afercia]:

 appreciate and use syntax highlighting, I'm personally not opposed to
 that.

 This part of the argument against a better code editor does not make sense
 to me. If this is our policy on new features, first of all I think it's
 not a good one, and second I'd like to see it officially discussed and
 documented, including other features we've recently introduced or are
 planning to introduce.

 Ideally a better code editor is an improvement which benefits those users
 who would use it, without impacting others.

 > I'm opposed to the proposed implementation though.

 And for good reasons - it's unfortunate that we're not aware of an
 accessible code editing library. IMO we need to focus on practical
 arguments like this rather than setting up conditions which are almost
 impossible to fulfill.
