Consider switching to Xi Editor from Scintilla

[emoon]

https://github.com/google/xi-editor seems to have good momentum and might be a good fit as

"Separation into front-end and back-end modules. The front-end is responsible for presenting the user interface and drawing a screen full of text. The back-end (also known as “core”) holds the file buffers and is responsible for all potentially expensive editing operations."

Mean that it should be possible to have a imgui/bgfx renderer for this.

Still I would say it's a bit too early as it lacks any highlighting and such.

This seems like it could be used for the syntax highlighting:

This may still be interesting even if with the switch to Qt
