Atom Was Archived Today

I tried Atom for a while in Windows, but a file watching bug made it quite inconvenient. Every time I edited and saved a file in another IDE (at the time, I was stuck using it to compile and debug an embedded system), that IDE would rename the original to a temporary file in a temporary directory before writing the new version. Atom would follow the rename rather than re-load the new file at the original path. It would make the open tab useless.

I tried making an issue for it, but someone ranted on about moving files around on a Mac and then closed the issue.

I tried trying to solve the bug myself, but I got about 4 layers deep into callbacks across at least three different repos, and gave up.

What editor did you go for after that? I still use Atom (I don’t need an IDE that much)

I've been using vscode lately. It mostly just works without getting in the way. Although if you work with python, one of the extensions seems prone to glitching out and spinning a CPU core. They're at least responsive to issue tickets.

Sublime text seems to be a good paid option.
