I was certainly not advocating anyone should adopt jEdit these days. I was merely comparing it's rise and decline to be similar to what I believe is currently happening with Sublime. I suspect in time we will see the same thing happen with Atom.
Incidentally, I have used Atom and while I found it to be too slow and lacking features, I'm quite pleased it was made since it spawned the Electron project which is pretty awesome.
- specialist 11y agoThanks for the tip. Very interesting. For other curious people: https://github.com/atom/electron https://github.com/atom/electron "Build cross platform desktop apps with web technologies http://electron.atom.io" http://electron.atom.io"
- PeCaN 11y agoElectron is cool and all, but every application with it bundles its own entire web browser stack and uses ~200MB+ of RAM (and that's the low end—VS Code with 2 small files open). It's my opinion that Electron is a terrible idea.
