I really like that inspirational editors are mentioned. For one, there were some on there I didn't even know existed. Second, you might want to try out some different ones before you settle on the one you like. Personally I rather liked Micro, for instance, but now I'm definitively going to give Ox a go too.
I think the negative remarks come from people who are probably both very knowledgeable and experienced, but also entrenched in "their" editor, and perhaps they didn't feel the blurb gave "their" editor the justice it deserves, while this isn't an editor that purports to be the "best" out there, or even the most advanced.
Personally I've never been a fan of using the terminal for anything else than reviewing code, so Micro is enough for me. It has text highlighting and commonly known Windows-esque shortcuts. To compare this to Emacs, which I've given my best shot, it just turned out way too complicated for my needs, and there's a ton of extra stuff to learn that I just wasn't motivated for on top of learning to code.
Once I saw the high treshold for getting into Emacs, I just opted out. Perhaps it is better in many ways, but I was instead lured in by Sublime Text, and I've stayed there ever since. Is it "better"? IDK. It's what works for me.
