The current docs don't make it clear why I might choose Atom over Sublime for coding, but it looks like an interesting platform for building all sorts of rich text editors with UIs targeted toward different kinds of writing - if it's as extensible as they claim, I can imagine an extension that turns it into iAWriter, another extension that turns it into a GTD task manager, another to turn it into a native blogging client app... building from there, more complex word processing might be possible.
If this just stays inside the coding community, it will likely be competitive but not universal, but if it can be built to target non-coders, it could set a new standard.
- Nizumzen 13y agoThere is an editor that already does what you state that works on every main stream platform, has a great extension language, has a huge library of already existing extensions and is completely open source. GNU Emacs. And if you don't like that Vim is also pretty darn awesome.
