I see all these tools are being built on top of Ace but Ace itself doesn't get much love. There are many issues in Ace that needs to be fixed but almost no company is putting resources on it.
- vitovito 12y agoSorry, where does it say it's built on Ace? The copy says Atom is the code editing component.
- msoad 12y agoAtom is built on Ace
- antimatter15 12y agoI don't think Atom is built on Ace. They had their own system which was powered by React before switching to hand crafted DOM manipulation. Also, Atom's written in Coffeescript and Ace is ordinary JS.
- msoad 12y agoIf you look at editor API it's very similar to Ace. https://atom.io/docs/api/v0.188.0/TextEditor https://atom.io/docs/api/v0.188.0/TextEditor I think they started with Ace but then drifted the code a lot.

- scriptproof 12y agoWhat are these issues? I use Ace daily (in Advanced Explorer) and have no issue. It has a syntax checker for JavaScript that is invaluable.
