This can go the other way too => People kept complaining about Internet Explorer for years. Then one day better alternatives showed up (Firefox, Chrome) and dealing with sub-par experiences was no longer a necessity.
- melling 8y agoPeople complained about the lack of functionality in IE. Atom is functional and iterating fast. It works great on my 5 year old Mac Book Pro with 16 GB. I understand that some people do have more minimal hardware, but 16GB looks like a $100 investment. Performance and memory usage are being addressed. I simply see memory usage as less of a problem in 2018/2019. I want more functionality.
- dman 8y agoI think in 2019 Atom will have to effectively answer the question on what it offers over VS Code.
