Atom 1.13
- hccampos 10y agoI wonder how noticeable the recent performance improvements really are. I have been on VSCode for a while but might give Atom a try for a change, and see how much it has evolved.
- sklegg 10y agoStick with VSCode. It's better in my experience.
- ZenoArrow 10y agoI prefer VSC too, but no harm in trying out the improvements in Atom. There's one feature/plugin in Atom that I wish VSC had, which is browser-plus. I haven't found anything comparable in VSC, which is a shame as it'd be useful when iterating through website designs.
- nkkollaw 10y agoI love Atom, and use it as my main editor, but it's many times slower than Sublime Text. I hope but doubt Electron will ever get near native in terms of performance.
- sakabaro 10y agoYeah, even the 2x claimed is nothing compared to sublime.
- sb8244 10y agoI'm curious if you have tried VSCode? It seems significantly faster than Atom and is built on Electron (and I think an Atom base).
- xiaoma 10y agoMicrosoft has an extraordinary amount of in-house talent when it comes to IDEs and performance, and it shows in VSCode. The difference in responsiveness between the two editors is stark and it's a primary reason I never use Atom anymore (though the increasingly sophisticated intellisense and integrated CLI tools is what's kept me in VSCode).
- pvinis 10y agoOmg these three comments are the same in every atom release. It's not a bad thing, just funny. 1. Atom is slow. 2. Have you tried VS Code? 3. Microsoft has a small but effective team developing VS Code, well done to them.
- StyloBill 10y agoEvery frigging time. This pattern never ceases to amaze me.
- harrygeez 10y agoIdk but I remember reading somewhere that VSCode is written by a 5 man team?
- nkkollaw 10y agoIsn't Sublime Text one guy..?
- nkkollaw 10y agoI have. There are a few things I like about Atom that keep me from switching despite its speed. I just wish it was native, or at least a little faster. It's got bugs, too.
- akmittal 10y agoWebassembly and Servo might big boost when available.
- grigio 10y agois it faster than VSCode now?
- pitaj 10y agoUnlikely, especially with plugins.
- erolrfn 10y agoLarge File Performance graph suggests that it will open a 7MB file in 300ms~350ms yet it still opens a 7MB utf-8 encoded file in 6000ms.
- maxbrunsfeld 10y agoIs this on 1.14-beta0? If so, please open an issue. We now do a lot of text layout computation lazily, but currently, it's very easy for a third-party package to accidentally force the entire text layout to be computed immediately via an API call.
- antigirl 10y agoVSCode all the way

- jgalt212 10y agoYes, Atom isn't the greatest across a number of performance metrics, but if my experience it irresplacable for: 1. markdown support is top notch 2. proto-repl[1] in clojure is amazing and only available on Atom.
