Atom 1.13 - Hackdot

I'm curious if you have tried VSCode? It seems significantly faster than Atom and is built on Electron (and I think an Atom base).

Microsoft has an extraordinary amount of in-house talent when it comes to IDEs and performance, and it shows in VSCode.

The difference in responsiveness between the two editors is stark and it's a primary reason I never use Atom anymore (though the increasingly sophisticated intellisense and integrated CLI tools is what's kept me in VSCode).

Omg these three comments are the same in every atom release. It's not a bad thing, just funny. 1. Atom is slow. 2. Have you tried VS Code? 3. Microsoft has a small but effective team developing VS Code, well done to them.

Every frigging time. This pattern never ceases to amaze me.

Idk but I remember reading somewhere that VSCode is written by a 5 man team?

I have.

There are a few things I like about Atom that keep me from switching despite its speed.

I just wish it was native, or at least a little faster. It's got bugs, too.
