for me, atom’s initial value proposition way back when was, (well, in addition to the customizability/programmability) the third party plug-in ecosystem. It was a pretty big deal for me at the time not to have to wait for my code editor to release an extension for that-one-thing-I-use.
Atom is slow for larger files, but the vast amount of third party plugins is a great asset.
- collyw 8y agoIt became unusably slow for me when I got downgraded to a spinning disk machine. It was fine on the SSD machine I had before that.
- mygo 8y agoI’ve only used SSD’s since 2012.. and it’s not always the case but it’s noticeable on large files. For example sometimes I open a gigantic CSV file (at least tens of thousands of rows) or JSON file in Atom, and it really chokes. But at the same time other tools are probably better for handling such large data files so it’s not a deal breaker.
