As someone who never really jumped into code until very recently, I find Atom far and away the most accessible text editor. Familiar interface (to a browser) and not overwhelming to set up. I've tried emacs, vim, and sublime. I'm sure that I could come to love emacs or vim, but it just seemed like too much messing with it before I would really enjoy it. Sublime is better, but I just prefer Atom. Guess that makes me some kind of radical minority here :)

- taylorwc 12y agoActually Sublime was the first one I tried. And I liked it quite a bit more than vim or emacs, perhaps due to being a noob. But I still preferred Atom to Sublime.
