Despite some terrible performance I believe Atom will keep doing fine for reasons I heard:
FOSS
1000s (millions?) of plugins
RAM/hardware is cheap e.g it works fine on latest generation top of the line hardware.
No one should need files more than couple of thousand lines long.
- LanceH 10y agoI rarely need to edit a large file. When I do, I just use a different editor. Commit messages load up painfully slowly, however. Again, I just use a different editor, but I would love to hear any fixes for this (tried many).
- ksherlock 10y agoPeople said that about Emacs, too (Eight Megs and Constantly Swapping!). And in 10 years, when hardware has finally caught up to the point that atom (A Terabyte of Memory?) has almost acceptable performance, it will be all but abandoned in favor of an even slower and more resource intensive text editor.
- geodel 10y agoThis sounds reasonable. 2 decades back if I had known my present annual salary I would have imagined that money is perhaps enough for lifetime but now I know better:-)
