The download is only available for Mac today, but we are working on the Linux and Windows builds.

EAGERLY awaiting that Windows build. And if I can't get a Windows build, I'm going to go out and buy a Macbook Pro just to use this IDE.

Why do you choose to use Windows today?

Cheaper hardware, Steam (and other games in general), testing on the platform used by a majority of our users, and more customization available than OS X, for starters.

I think that's also why patio11 doesn't use a Mac, If If Guess Correctly.

purposefully tried to say it in a way that wouldn't seem like I was trolling. Alas, this comment came up anyway.

Any chance for ChromeOS support?

Re:Atom by brian_cloutier on Wednesday February 26, 2014 @07:22PM (#7309343)
It's most likely not possible until there's a "hosted atom" you connect to with your browser. ChromeOS is /just/ a web browser and won't run node, which Atom uses to do its processing.

Re:Atom by BHSPitMonkey on Wednesday February 26, 2014 @08:00PM (#7309527)
It will depend on which node features/packages are essential, but it could probably be hacked together (possibly entirely using Atom's modular design, e.g. replace the standard file IO parts with browser-friendly ones like LocalStorage and the HTML5 File API).

ChromeOS (rather, Chromebooks) can run more-featured Linux distros like Ubuntu, ArchLinux.

The OP asked for ChromeOS support, not Chromebook

You can make offline apps for ChromeOS/Chrome

Re:Atom by brian_cloutier on Thursday February 27, 2014 @03:57PM (#7315002)
You can make offline webapps for ChromeOS. Node will not run on ChromeOS.

Putting in my +1 for a ChromeOS option.

I think we should start a new line of thought in the development community - linux first. :(
