No.
Fair point. I think it's interesting for them to offshoot it to something else, but as someone who isn't wed to any particular text editor I find myself just wishing I didn't have to have two apps open where I could have one.
It's even stranger coming from a company that was using the "all-in-one" software pitch before.
Your point still remains however, I don't imaging framer being able to compete with apps like sublime text that are lighter and more extensible. But not even having the option feels like a miss.
I tried it, and struggle to love Framer X. Not only is handoff missing, but code moving to a pure external editor, and recommending Microsoft products to manage it, on top of really non-native performance for things like smooth scrolling and zooming was a dealbreaker.
For me, currently Framer X looks better in screenshots and in marketing than it does as a something I'd consider investing in above the likes of Sketch + The Adobe Suite.
Some insights from my time at different orgs. Would love feedback and to see if this resonates with the community here.
I had written something about this a while back.

Can’t stop thinking about this hourglass. It’s amazingly beautiful.

As someone who's only logged roughly 10 or so hours with Figma, I barely noticed a difference.
