Microsoft killed Atom the day they took over Github - they haven't had the balls to say anything publicly, but just go look at the commit graphs in the Atom repos. Here's a summary: https://twitter.com/DuncanLock/status/1177747512905461760 https://twitter.com/DuncanLock/status/1177747512905461760
And here are the contributor graphs: https://github.com/atom/atom/graphs/contributors https://github.com/atom/atom/graphs/contributors
- ohduran 6y agoI have both 'nightly' versions on my laptop, Atom Nightly and VSCode Insiders, and the commit activity in the former pales in comparison with the latter. Eventually moved onto VSCode. As a former Atom hardcore fan, this was an emotional hit.
- floydnoel 6y agoI was a big fan of Atom as well. It pains me to see MS taking over every single default developer tool. I have been watching a single VSCode issue for years now, hoping that some simple functionality which was key to my workflow (and exists in Atom) could finally be implemented. It’s free so I shouldn’t complain, I suppose!
- dflock 6y agoWhich issue is that? This was one of my big ones: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/23931 https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/23931 Cramming literally everything into that tiny sidebar and making you constantly resize it when you switch between files, search, git is one of VSCode's larger UX blunders.
