draft over xwt & skia:
https://github.com/mkrueger/Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text.Editor.Implementation.CrossPlatform

Proposal:
merge mkrueger-crossplattform into microsoft/vs-editor & adopt to use GtkSharp/GtkSharp

alternatives:

As mentioned in #6, we should abandon WPF support in favor of a cross-platform GUI, like GTK.

So, a Xwt' GTK3 implementation is the way to go, isn't it?

[lytico]

it could be impossible to implement vs-editor over gkt3.

so, eventually, AvalonEdit would be an alternativ
and, of cause, the legacy monodevelop editor with newer language features
even vs-code-editor, embedded somehow in md (or dd nowerdays ;-) ) could be an option

but before it's not compiling, we can't experiment around and try out the other options

[knuxbbs]

I will close this issue in favour of #9.

[lytico]

please, let it somewhere as a gathering of different possibilities and notes

its more specific than architecture

[lytico]

maybe move things like this to the wiki?

md-mac uses this as editor-backend:

https://github.com/textmate/textmate

its GPL 3, intresting!

Why not to stick with GtkSourceView?

Did someone managed to build Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text.Editor.Implementation.CrossPlatform ?
