Uh who? About every other editor and IDE under the sun is leagues ahead of Atom. Honestly an editor based around a freaking browser is already too heavy for usage. No, I don't want to use a browser engine to run my editing environment, and a ton of "big names" are not picking up Atom at all.
Going to need to see some citations, not downvotes Hacker News. I don't care if it's the "hip new editor", being made by GitHub is not enough.
- sehr 11y agoI don't know if 'adopted' is the right word, but it and its underlying platform or whatever are being used by Microsoft, Facebook and Slack among others
- jastanton 11y agoMicrosoft's Visual Studio Code & Facebook's Nuclide are two that come to mind.
- lvillani 11y agoVisual Studio Code is based on Electron, not Atom. The editor component is Microsoft's and based on Monaco, the editor used in Visual Studio Online. Electron is a souped up Chromium Embedded Framework, patched to make it easier to develop desktop applications. Atom is built on top of that. So, Visual Studio Code only uses the "low level" components from the Atom project, but it doesn't use Atom itself (unlike Nuclide which is, instead, a set of Atom plugins).
