You are right, although it is the first thing I show in the 'LeoJs 
features' video, it should be the first (or almost first) thing i write 
about at the top of the documentation!!

This is a good point, and I will admit that the 'out of the gate' 
description of LeoJS in the readme is all laid out in the forefront to be 
the 'javascript implementation of Leo as a vscode plugin', the goal being 
to get the Leo user-base's attention and interest, in trying out LeoJS, 
being a 100% compatible Leo equivalent. (except for being scriptable in 
JavaScript instead of python)


I think that a helpful approach could be along these lines:

*LeoJS is a combined outliner and code editor based on the principles 
evolved over many years for the Leo Editor.  LeoJS is highly compatible 
with the Leo Editor at the file and internal API levels.  In this way 
existing Leo Editor users can use LeoJS and continue to work as they always 
have, and new users can get the benefits of running in a VS Code or browser 
host. The combination of outliner and code editor together provides 
unexpected and remarkably useful benefits.*
