Atom Code Editor Is Dead: Long Live Its Successors

I use Emacs. Phuck Microsoft.

ew Electron apps

VSCode CAN`T mix PHP, JS and CSS intellisense... 2023 wow Microsoft wow !!!!! I am going to ask to your AI if it is possible to fix it XDDDDD

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish!
It never ends.

Came looking where to download atom, watched this video, downloaded pulsar-edit portable

damn, I have long since switched to Sublime, but atom was always a nice editor that I used to use a bunch! major rip, that hurts a little. I think the greatest benefit of atom was its packages, use to open it up every now and then just for them, really sad.

well I did run atom. till today, because for some reason when I opened it. it was no longer the same program. not sure if it hit another deadline today or mine just broke. but time get a new code editor xD

Been using Zed for a few months and it's great! Biggest con for now is no Linux support but the editor and the community is great! Let me know if anyone needs a beta invite 😅

Same thing they have done with Skype

I loved Atom. It really broke my heart when I find they (MicrofuckingSoft) were going to kill it. I switched to VScode, it's really good but I'm not loving it. I will follow closely Pulsar and Zed

I use VSCodium

Dead ok I’ll just learn to use vim lol

Sounds like a lot of frustration, just use vs code.

That's not completely right about Zed, the only part of it which is not open source (for now) is the co-op part of it. The main dev said it in his presentation video.

i don't care whatsoever! 😛

One word: Lapce.

Take a look at Pulsar! Atom's legacy continues!

I might considder Zed depending on if it uses electron, or anything web based, or if it is native.

I'm using Zed at the moment, and for what I use it for its pretty limited. I'm keeping my eye on the project as it progresses. Eager to see where the devs go

This is not an issue, there is VSCode.
