I like sublime, but my primary computer has an ARM processor and there is no sublime port. The sublime developers have stated that they don't have the bandwidth to handle an ARM port, and that's fair. But I find it difficult to justify paying for a license, when I can only use the editor ~25% of the time. An editor that is sublime-like and works everywhere would be awesome. I can't tell if atom has this, but a hosted version would also be cool, allowing users to hop on the service and do some quick work when on unfamiliar machines.
- enscr 13y ago'Primary computer is ARM' - and you are a developer? I'm genuinely curious about your setup & work.

- pyoung 13y agoYup, the Samsung model. Use it for most of my work. I've got an old clunker that is x86, but that thing is showing it's age so only use it when it's absolutely necessary (when there is no ARM port for an application i need, for example). The battery life and weight/size of the chromebook are really awesome. Using crouton to run an OS is pretty painless, although you do run into a few bugs every now and then. Also, the hard drive needs to be supplemented with and SD card. But for the most part, works as good as a MacBook Air for a quarter of the price.
