Atom text editor 1.7.0 released

Re:Atom text editor 1.7.0 released by grayrest on Wednesday April 13, 2016 @06:18PM (#11492784)

Code is not based on atom, it's based on Electron, which is the runtime (node+webkit without the UI chrome).

VSCode has lower typing latency and a more considered system for building / debugging / code completion. Atom has a richer plugin api and has been around longer so it has more plugins. I've done basic plugins for both and plan on using/developing for VSCode but I've been too lazy to write Vim bindings and not willing to use the editor without them.

You may want to try my vim extension for VSCode - amVim. It works best on VSCode's insiders build now. I'm planning a big update as soon as VSCode releases 1.0(which is said to be 4/14)

Thanks for making amVim. It's the only usable vim extension right now. It's a shame you aren't being featured on the marketplace

Glad you like it. I'm using it everyday at work. I implemented all commands I use regularly and make sure they work well.

Nitpick, Electron is Node + Chromium (not webkit).
