I suggest we improve the following sentence:
> Content-sensitive editing modes, including syntax coloring, for a variety of file types including plain text, source code, and HTML.
"Content-sensitive editing modes" is cryptic even to me. I would just use "Specialized support" or "Specialized functionality" (I actually don't like the word specialised here, but I'm drawing blank on something better).
Also "a variety of" is one hell of an understatement. I think I'd say "Dozens of" (or are we in the hundreds?).
On another sentence. "A large number of extensions that add other functionality," sounds like addons you have to download or install somehow. But it's actually referring to builtin stuff like org mode and gnus.
How about "An entire ecosystem of functionality beyond text editing,"?
