Although they have the obvious Electron based complaints, increasingly Atom and VS Code are getting more and more popular. In my workplace these have now largely replaced what was once pretty much a Sublime only shop. For my needs, Atom's third party package community has evolved at a pace far beyond what I experienced with Sublime. I of course still miss Sublime's superb speed, and ability to handle extremely large files without barfing.
Mac users have also been big on using BBEdit for a long, long time.
- 52-6F-62 9y agoAh, I've tried all of them but because of this thread I'm trying VSCode again. It feels a little more robust, if a little more rigid than Atom. It's not a bad thing. I do like Atom, but experience the same complaints everybody else does there. Still a great project. Just was curious if there was some hidden gem not yet seen. I wonder if that would be a worthwhile undertaking -- a new native (even if its mac-only) robust editor...

- 52-6F-62 9y agoWow yeah another one that seems to have rooted itself... There's Coda as well which I forgot about. It seems that there's the 3 big native editors, sublime the "native" editor, then the electron apps. I'm visualizing a niche: something with all of the benefits of the electron gang, sublime, and the native performance and stability. I'm sure it's a bit of a project.
