I showed off Orion 5.0 to a friend of mine, who has been a web developer for over ten years. He was amazed by how capable the editor is: Syntax highlighting, Code assist, git support, etc. One thing he thought that will be nice to have is the ability to drag&drop a local file on an editor directly.

I asked if he could observe the drag&drop feature into the LHS folder. He told me as an experienced user he could guess but as a first time user to try first, he would try drag and drop onto an existing editor. Then he expected a file being created in the same folder as the current editor lives.

I found the conversation interesting and entering an enhancement here. I think this will improve the Orion UX and let users quickly observe the uniqueness of the editor by seeing their local file right away.
