>> cross platform support

> Yes.

WOW FINALLY SOMETHING that will run on my LINUX and FreeBSD!

ohh.. a lot of plugins don't support linux and it doesn't build on BSD?

Cross platform support means if you want support, you cross over to a supported platform.

Some years ago cross platform in Microsoft speak meant it would run on at least two of the following: A version of Windows, Wincows CE, Windows Phone or Xbox. That cross platform now almost includes a non Microsoft platform is progress.

Don't vim, emacs, Sublime, and IntelliJ IDEA work on FreeBSD?

(neo)vim, emacs and IDEA certainly do. Sublime is not natively ported, only under the linux compat layer.

Really? I haven't seen this at all... though I don't have a ton of plugins.

Define a lot. Every plugin I use on Atom run on Linux fine.

Why bother describing something as cross-platform if this is the attitude held?
