Does Atom have a proper side bar yet to show open files? I can't even begin to understand how anyone can get by with tabs when working on big projects. Horizontal file navigation is a terrible idea.
- scottmf 9y agoYes with a plug-in.
- chrisseaton 9y agoHorizontal tabs works better for me. I didn't like the side bar of open files when I tried VS Code. So it's just an opinion thing - not objectively terrible as you think.
- yAnonymous 9y agoIt stops being an opinion thing when you are working with so many open files that you can't read their names in the tabs. That's why I specifically said "big projects". VS Code gives users the freedom to show files as they want. Atom doesn't.
- chrisseaton 9y agoI work with so many files that I can't read their names in the tabs - so I scroll the list of tabs horizontally - which is exactly what you do I guess if the vertical list doesn't fit on the screen. Or I just find the files again in the project tree. It works fine for me - they can't add everyone's preferred style to the UI or the project would eternally bloat.
