I use Atom over Sublime Text solely for the Hydrogen plugin (https://github.com/nteract/hydrogen).

That plugins are written in javascript (larger developer base) and allows more customization of Atom (more open plugin api) also yields more niche plugins.

In these threads I see "larger developer base" when referring to javascript developers over python. I wonder if that's true, and by what margin.

For what it's worth I would imagine more javascript devs would write plugins for Atom than python developers would write plugins for Sublime Text.

These resources are by no means perfect, but they're the best I can think of off the top of my head:

If anyone has anything better, we can refine our collective thinking.

I wasn't aware of Hydrogen. Looks like it might be enough for me to try Atom again.
