Great to see better text editing “for many files” come to Eclipse Core – I’ve tried a couple of different plug-ins for that in the past but none was really
satisfactory so far.
Having a good framework for general syntax highlighting / bracket matching in the Core (that would probably attract contributors) is a lot better than the fragmentation
we see with many independent plugins.
That said, have you looked at Wordfile Editor – I found comments from the marketplace users quite interesting:

Liclipse from Fabio Zadrozny takes a similar approach, actually using Textmate:

We moved Angelo's bug (initially target WTP Source Editing) to Platform/Text:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=486961
I'm pretty sure Angelo would welcome hints and help to better integrate is current draft to e4 incubator and then Platform/Text framework.
