Atom is in competition with Brackets (Ace), Visual Studio Code (CodeMirror), Advanced Editor (Ace), to cite only the free software. All the others are quicker.

Atom is in competition with Brackets (Ace), Visual Studio Code (CodeMirror), Advanced Editor (Ace), to cite only the free software. All the others are quicker. I wonder how they get all these users.

Brackets was first but has gotten inconsistent attention being under adobe's wing. I'm hoping it being taken to use as the code editor in dreamweaver will see even more performance work done on it. But I've not seen any releases since then. Atom, from github has no "we also make" worries the developers might wedge in there. VS Code was last to the party. I still use brackets but I installed Atom last week to have a go with. I was pleased with what comes out of the box. (context): I used to use sublime since (roughly) just before 3.0 builds were announced then used brackets from around 1.0. sublime and brackets used to really crawl until I excluded things like .git and node_modules form their search tools. Perhaps Atom is similar for people?

The worst is better mantra might have some grains of truth to it.

Small correction: Brackets uses Codemirror, Visual Studio Code uses its own editor called monaco, Advanced Editor (if you mean the wordpress plugin) uses Codemirror as well, Ace is used by c9.io and RStudio for example. I'd expect some part of their users are people who have it installed, and check from time to time if it became faster or not, but the main thing making it popular is the promise of being easily extensible.

  You are right, Adobe Brackets is in the list of CodeMirror users. But I mean Advanced Editor based on Node.js and Ace (https://github.com/Scriptol/Advanced-Editor https://github.com/Scriptol/Advanced-Editor). VSC uses Electron, hence the confusion, but not Atom and Codemirror.
