Looks like it will be really interesting to me once it can support modal keybindings.

I wonder what is taking so long for this project to be usable. I didn't do anything to help but it's been a while and I can't wait to use this editor.

I don't think it will be polished anytime soon. From Raph's blog:

A major focus for xi has been research and learning. For the near and medium term, I think it will be a more appealing project for people interested in learning how text editors are made and getting deeper into Rust programming techniques, as opposed to a polished out-of-the-box editing experience. Some of the biggest challenges are in packaging – keeping the front-end, core, and suite of plugins coherent and updated. This is one reason why there are no prebuilts, etc., even though we’ve seen a fair amount of demand. To be honest, I don’t have a very clear vision how to solve those problems, and am hoping the community can come together around them. Even so, I plan on using xi-editor as much as possible as my daily driver.
