A new editor? Sweet heaven, no! Here is what it says
on the web site:

    web-mode.el is an autonomous emacs major-mode for
    editing web templates. HTML documents can embed
    parts (CSS/JavaScript) and blocks (client/server
    side).

Does "autonomous" mean it is implemented as
a standalone editor? What kind of "Emacs mode" is
that?!
