Remind me again, this is what, compared to Emacs?
- alandarev 12y agoPeople argue it is very similar to Sublime, but is open source, thus has higher community support and promising future. I would not compare Atom to emacs or vim. On the other hand, Windows always frustrated me of low text editors choice, Atom might quickly earn its name on Windows platform.
- swasheck 12y agoSo far I'm having a hard time discerning its value over the Windows release of Geany. I'm not saying that it doesn't have that value, I'm just struggling to find it. Having said that, choice is generally perceived to be a good thing.
- seabrookmx 12y agoI use and like Geany on Linux. GTK apps on Windows have always been buggy for me though. Geany had a strange issue where it would sometimes maximize larger than the screen, so the only way to get control of the window again was WindowsKey+DownArrow. I also have trouble finding nice themes for Geany. Sublime and Notepad++ are much more polished, but I plan on giving Atom a legitimate trial now that there's an official build.
- lmedinas 12y agoCurrently full of Bugs, Emacs not! Currently supports a few OS, Emacs supports a lot's! It's is slow, Emacs not! <and so on> Ok the list is full but i'm not really sure about Atom. Maybe it could replace ST in the future, since the developer is away. But i guess to take Emacs or Vim will take much more time. Atom is simply not ready yet for production.

- CmonDev 12y agoIt's very similar: a notepad application with keyboard shortcuts. Good when cannot afford/access a proper IDE.
- chr1 12y agoeditor that doesn't loose cursor position when scrolling.
- swah 12y agoAtom has some Emacs-like qualities. See for example a game for destroying the window contents: https://atom.io/packages/asteroids https://atom.io/packages/asteroids This is the kind of thing we saw in emacs.
