Maybe I should not talk because I have no idea on how CodeMirror and BeSpin work, but I would say that I'd think more than twice before choosing CodeMirror instead of BeSpin, for this reason: 1) BeSpin is anyway sponsored (or at least hosted) by Mozilla, which is a fairly decent guarantee of mid-term support and a huge amount of advertisement 2) BeSpin seem to have (looking at number of members and posts in the respective google groups) more users and activity around it 3) even if now BeSpin suffers some feature lack, that should be caused by a major refactoring happened between 0.4 and 0.6 version. the important features should be back in 0.7 soon
It seems that right now, things are still so much in their infancy with this that it's hard to choose clear winners without just trying both. Any volunteers for figuring out how to integrate these into Sage so people can test them? Maybe we should wait until BeSpin reaches 0.7?
If we can figure out how to get the notebook code cells to be content-editable divs (instead of just plain textboxes), I have some ideas about how we could do much, much more for input than just syntax coloring. Things like equation editors, embedded graph editors, table widgets for matrices, and other javascript input widgets.
