As a KS backer of Light Table I always get sad about what might have been[1] if they hadn't gone the YC + VC route that basically lead to abandoning LT before it was near ready for daily use for most of us.

We never did get to see the vision that was presented in that KS...

[1] 2012 was two years before Brackets/Atom and three before VSCode.

When we produced this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWAMr72VaaU) for the v0.2 release, we actually went though the LT kickstarter video and tried to deliver on the promises made there. I think at one point in the office we had them going side by side, showing the promise in LT and the reality in Eve.
