Github Atom

[ed welch]

Anyone try out the Github Atom editor? Atom[^] It's nearly an essential if you're an Apple developer - considering there has been no good ascii editor uptil now and also it can edit files starting with a dot - a very hard thing to do on OSX normally.

I use it on Windows quite a bit. It is a very nice editor. And to think it is written completely in JavaScript!

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Wash your mouth out with SOAP! Saying anything JS related is "nice" is pretty much a capital offence round these parts...

Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

While most of my work is done in Visual Studio, any web work is definitely done in Atom. It's just a better version of Sublime IMHO.

That sounds intriguing. I've played with Sublime, and while nicer that my old editor, for something that I rarely need any of the advanced capabilities of wasn't worth the $70 they wanted for a non-nagware copy.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

In difficult times like these when certain developers were assigned to port some Android apps to iOS I !@#$ Apple, iOS, Xcode and especially the webView object. :mad:

it ain’t broke, it doesn’t have enough features yet.

I know, not particularly fond of iOS myself X|

It's a pretty good editor. I use it whenever VSCode is not available and I can't install it. Very clean looking.

It is, though. Very fast. Loads up in a few seconds, and can edit pretty much any kind of file. With the right plugins it can even be a decent C#/Python/Ruby/Perl/etc. IDE. And there are a LOT of plugins.

The '...' probably meant 'even though' :)

I was using it, but switched to visual studio code.
