Atom cannot replace vim because you can have the very same vim setup on your desktop AND your server. You would need a GUI on your server to share that portability. Now, this may not be an answer to the article but it's the reality.
If the author wanted a better comparison he would have chosen Sublime Text, Textmate or any other GUI based editor.
- chr1 12y agoThen can online editors like cloud9 replace vim? They can easily connect to any server and provide same ui for server and desktop.
- pothibo 12y agoThe comparison is indeed more relevant.
- curun1r 12y agoTwo points: - The move from server administration to devops has made editing files on servers much less necessary. We should be treating our server environments like the output of a deployment function rather than a stateful, manually-created environment. - GUI editors like Atom have had SFTP integration for a while and it would be quite simple to add remote editing capabilities to Atom.
