I 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.
