I tried using this in my day to day for a short period of time. If you like GUI and native apps, it's a dream. If you prefer using things like Sublime or Kaleidoscope, over vim or the native difftool, Black Screen is what your workflow has been waiting for. It has native OSX text selection/manipulation, great (if a little wonky) autocomplete, easier directory browsing, the ability able to click to add files to git commits, notifications when long processes finish and several other nice touches.
The typical hacker news user probably isn't going to love this. It's certainly not as performant, and probably a slower workflow if you're someone that prefers to never let your hands leave the keyboard.
That being said, it's definitely not ready for full time. I ended up switching back to terminal for now, but I keep watching this closely.
Its unideal. Black Screen is certainly rough in the way that Atom was when it first launched. That being said, it feels more at home next to other OSX app then terminal which feels more like a window to the 80s
