I think @AtBios said it all - line numbers and I feel even vim/emac support is a very niche feature that only a few users need. And on the other hand it’s never free to add a feature - well it’s usually easy to add it, but it adds a permanent long term maintenance cost. And that cost is fixed whether it’s something used by 2 users or by 10,000 so that’s why we need to focus on the features with the best ROI.
Eventually I would like to create a plugin system that will allow adding this and other specialised feature to the app, without increasing the complexity of Joplin core.
