I think the line between "IDE" and "Editor" is starting to blur, and Atom is toward the IDE side of that scale. I personally still use Notepad++ as my "editor"

I think the line between "IDE" and "Editor" is starting to blur, and Atom is toward the IDE side of that scale.
I personally still use Notepad++ as my "editor". Quick things like a git commit, just looking over a single log file or something, etc... Basically when i don't plan to be using it for more than a few minutes.
Atom comes out when i do development. It's more-or-less my IDE at this point. And when viewed through that lense, it starts faster than jetbrains does!
- seanp2k2 11y agoThis. I was using WebStorm for a while, but with all the inline jshint support and es6 support, atom has been really nice. I have a strange issue where [esc] doesn't close my search box, but other than that and the CPU usage it's been great. I wanted rainbow brackets for a long time, and it finally looks like someone's done it: https://atom.io/packages/swackets https://atom.io/packages/swackets
- Klathmon 11y agoJust a heads up, i really liked swackets, but it ended up wreaking havoc with atom. It was slow, it messed with tern-js a bit, and the brackets would "pop" into the viewport whenever i scrolled. That was about a month ago so it may be better now.
- seivan 11y agoI have the same issue. I think it's because of changes on the autocomplete settings, but I can't pinpoint it. Have you had any lock? It's annoying as hell as there is no close button either.
