- 7ewis 8y agoForgot about that too. Atom is open source though isn't it? So I'm sure it won't ever disappear. I wouldn't want to move to VS Code though. I use a Mac and have heard good things about it, but I'm sure it will always be a second class citizen.
- jrs95 8y agoVS Code is actually nearly identical on all platforms just like Atom. I find Atom generally has more available plugins, but VS Code can’t be beat for TypeScript imo.
- mjrbrennan 8y agoVS Code is ridiculously good, far better than Atom in all areas. I moved from Atom to VS Code on the Mac ~1.5 years ago and have never looked back.
- tomxor 8y agoThey can't "depreciate" an OSS project just because it's hosted on a platform they own. Atom will live on one way or another, and it was never exactly tied at the hip with GitHub anyway.
- jrs95 8y agoWell, they can stop paying people to work on it and divorce GitHub from it entirely. I’m sure it would still available and worked on though.
