I'm pretty excited about what can be built with Atom. Since it's based on Chromium, you've got access to WebRTC for P2P stuff, getUserMedia() for camera/mic, HTML5 audio APIs, canvas for visualizations... there are so many building blocks that aren't available in any other editor.
Granted, Atom's browser roots do slow it down. But it's getting better. Even on my 1.1GHz MacBook, the only significant performance issue I have is startup time. If that's fixed, I'll probably switch over completely from Sublime Text.
- tracker1 11y agoI've been diggin on VS Code myself.. which is a bit surprising, it uses the electron base too, but imho the UI is slightly better in a lot of ways, haven't tried Atom in a while though. Hoping to see a floobits extension for VS Code, but I think MS is still working on the plugin model for it. :-( I'm glad you guys have created Floobits, it's something I've wanted in something more like an IDE since first seeing something similar in an ANSI editor called PabloDraw. It allowed you to run in a "host" mode where other users could connect to you... Seeing something like this as an extension for multiple editors is pretty great.
