Congrats! I still prefer emacs but perhaps not for long (I use both day to day)...

- brlewis 11y agoI use emacs but might try atom when it's a true replacement possibility. How can I know it's crossed the threshold?
- grandalf 11y agoI'm really looking forward to emacs-like tab behavior and also now that the rate of change will slow down we'll likely see the best quality extensions rise to the top and stabilize a bit. Also looking forward to seeing Facebook's fork of Atom for React...
- crucialfelix 11y agoapm install nuclide-installer it seems to run inside of Atom, not a fork
- jfb 11y agoI would have switched off of Emacs for some things ages ago if not for the broken behavior of the TAB key when editing text in what seems like every other editor. No, I do not ever want to insert a \t literal. Never. Ever. And if I do, I can do it with a more ponderous key sequence. But I never do. On the other hand, I need to indent a line to the correct tab stop perhaps a BILLION TIMES A DAY. Emacs has the benefit of decades of Huffman coding for its keystrokes, and I appreciate that.

- kansface 11y agoTry it in a couple of years.
- justinhj 11y agoI feel the same. I've been using emacs everday for over a decade but I am keeping an eye on Atom and LightTable. With the amount of community involvement one of them could well eclipse it soon.
