Interesting! FYI atom-shell seems to work better with node v0.11 than node-webkit if you're trying to build little admin/maintenance utilities that need sudo.

Interesting! FYI atom-shell seems to work better with node v0.11 than node-webkit if you're trying to build little admin/maintenance utilities that need sudo. node-webkit gets in the way of the sudo working.
