I am a bit worried, however, that the new text is hard on eyes (difficult to read, "select language" and "create from template" are not well separated). Would something like this read better? Note how this prompt now indicates the "why" (to get started) first and has well separated buttons

other options:

Blank page. Start typing to dismiss... 
You can also select a language | fill with template | open a different editor 
Don't show this again.

@ulugbekna thanks for driving this.
I like your first suggestion the best. | makes everything not look like a sentence.
If you are worried about separation between first two you could also say:

"Select a language, or create from template, or open a different editor to get started."
"or" would not be blue thus creating a better separation.

If you make more changes to this consider bringing it up in the UX call next week for feedback.
