Why another yaml editor for eclipse?

There exists some other editors for eclipse for yaml but there were some issues which annoyed me

• One of them had an odd syntax highlighting beahviour (delayed)
• No vertical ruler (an important feature for myself)
• Tabs not allways surpresssed
• No code completion

Also I did wrote a Yaml-Editor many years ago (see https://sourceforge.net/projects/yamli/) and wanted to bring at least some of the features back to live (the tool was never on marketplace). Did not transfer code or something because I used LGPL license for yamli and I am not sure if a license change to Apache 2.0 would be possible (even as an owner).
