This is cool for Atom users! But it's also a sign of how text-based interfaces are extremely versatile in their simplicity.
If Atom like many other great editors (vi, emacs, yi) was text-based at the core (although the examples have graphical frontons available) you get this without effort with tmux.
- awestroke 11y agoNot true. This supports each collaborator manipulating text in tandem, each with her or his own caret position. Also you can work in different files. That is simply not possible by throwing some tmux on it.
- mikekchar 11y agoVirtually our entire team has migrated to vim for this reason. We do a lot of pair programming and about 25% of the team is remote full time, so it is a big deal. Even the non-remote people tend to be remote about 20% of the time. It's strange that since I've switched to tmux and vim, I vastly prefer it to any other setup. I even ssh/tmux/vim pair when the person is sitting right next to me -- it's just so much more comfortable. What's even stranger is that I have returned to an almost all-terminal existence - vim (and emacs for org-mode :-) ), mutt, irssi (connected to slack...), cmus (for music). The only thing I use X for is my browser.
