There is a fundamental difference between the kind of extensions that Atom has and the type Code has. It's something that people often miss when they compare the two. Atom was made to be infinitely customizable by using web technology. You can dynamically change everything you want with custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Nothing is off limits. Want to shrink the size of the tabs? Just throw in some CSS, everything is changeable. Code on the other hand runs plug-ins in a separate isolated thread where they are left to communicate with the editor through an extension API. Every customization "hook" that a plugin has access to needs to be explicitly added in that extension API. The things that the devs didn't think (or want) to add are simply impossible. Want to shrink the size of the tabs? Tough luck (except for unsupported hacks). Code is awesome, but I think Atom should get more credit for what it tried to do. It is arguably the most customizable text editor ever.
