@sharp Atom is a Siren. Its features and large number of extensions draw you in and then its massive pile of bugs and the low quality of the aforementioned extensions kill you.
I switched from that to Visual Studio Code and have never looked back. Former vim and emacs user.
@seanl I'm giving atom a fair shake but I'll keep that in mind. I will say that I'm not just installing any extension.
The weirdness of vscode's licensing and the fact that it's a Microsoft product freaks me out, but I *have* heard good things.
@sharp I'm in the same boat. I really didn't want to like it but it does a lot of really cool stuff "out of the box" and all the extensions I've tried so far (mostly Node integration) have worked flawlessly.
In fact, it was primarily Atom's Node integration, which you'd think it would get right, that got me looking for other solutions. Plus IntelliSense blows Atom's naive autocompletion out of the water. Though I imagine there's probably a way to get better autocompletion from Atom.
