Atom was easy to use and beginner friendly. One for the better text editors
Did not have many features as compared to other editors
Writing javascript programs with embedded git control
i like the user interface of atom along with ui it also offers git integrated with it which helps us to push the text at remote.you can customise it according to you. its good in terms of performance. its quite fast. you can use various themes also. its open source and freely available on the internet.its cross plateform you can use it on mac, windows or linux.if you are a developer it will help you a lot as it helped me to create and modify the whole ui and i customised it as per my ease. it has good comunity support and it helps when we get stuck or face some issue. i faced a issue few days back it was crashing constanly i googled it and i resolved with the help of solution posted by the community.
continouse updates and bug fixes makes it little bit distruptive. you will see that git is integrated partially not all features are available.its resource intensive its not like other light weight text editor tools in terms of occupying resources you may suffer little bit slowness while using atom.
i use it to make the notes while attending teams calls and meetings. it helps me to memorise a lot of things i have noted down throughout my work experience. before any presentation i make notes using atom because of its simple and useful tools and user interface . from gathering requirement to developing the system a lot things come in between and i use atom to make notes of it.
i like the way we can customise the theme in atom. its integrated with git so pushing changes on some remote place is an advantage. you will get the suggestions for autocomplete that's quite impressive. you can search , replace, navigate to diff words through ui. in my opinion its best tool i use it for my personal note making tool while attending the meetings.
it takes a lot of time while starting and performance is bit slow.it uses high memory while running on the system. there is a lots of competitors of atom which are doing quite better than atom.
i prepare notes through atom while attending the meetings.
It is open-source, free to use, and has many good plugins and extensions. Also, it has excellent developers' support and an active community to learn and work with. It has a collaboration feature to work with teammates and is easy to understand and use.
It is easy to use only after one understands and learns how to use it, it has not had sufficient features, and its support is good, but updates to the software are not regular. Otherwise a good editor for anyone who uses it.
It helps make code in a customizable environment and has provided community support which helps in learning. It is perfect for growth, offers many extensions and plugins to use in principles, and is free and open source, so secure and does not need to pay.
It has remote collaboration , customisation and source code integration .
Ease of use and documentation is little poor
It has GitHub integration which is the best part and very helpful for developers
Atom has been useful for me in the past years for multiple reasons, its fast, easy to customize and you can open big projects without a hassle. I work a lot with databases myself and get send a lot of CSV files, its not uncommon for me to have to edit those, which can also be quickly done trough Atom. We also use it for our regular code of course, it was so lovely to find you can edit your syntax with different colors and themes. In the years of use we also added a lot of plugins that significantly improved our use of Atom.
Honestly i myself dont dislike anything about Atom. The only thing for me was the start of using Atom, it was a bit complicated at first because you have so many options you can trigger to make it your own. No complaints! :)
Atom has helped solve a lot of problems, the easy editing of text files, working fast and efficiently with the integrated Git plugin. And because its so simple to use all our new coworkers got used to it really quick!
Atom is the best text editor that has supported multiple programming languages. It's user-interface makes it more easy to use and collaborate with colleagues. The navigation through multiple files and folders makes it more dynamic.
I don't dislike anything about Atom. It has provided every feature that a single text-editor can provide to a programmer at college level.
Atom is the best text editor that I have used for implementing static HTML based websites. I have used it throughout my graduation for academic purposes. It has helped me a lot in terms of productivity.
Atom has a very simple GUI developed by GitHub, so it has a built-in git feature. It provides a decent amount of extensions and plugins to add more features for your convenience.
Atom does provide a very limited number of extensions, whereas VScode offers a vast number of extensions and customization. Atom is slower than some other text editors, and when you add more extensions and plugins, it worsens.
It is a good text editor for someone who dislikes too many extensions, customization and adding on features. It has built-in git feature, which is very helpful while working on more significant projects.
Atom provides remote collaboration so by two people can code on the same panel. The integration of source code is awesome. highly customizable platform. the open source extension and support are greater. it supports markup languages too.
It required a lot of time to start. managing plugin becomes cumbersome. find difficulty in the documentation. create an issue in GIT support. UI increases the level of difficulty, need to improve UI. Packages should be more advanced.
As a system developer, I use atoms to do code for my applications. I mainly use aton to collaborate on the code with my other team members. provide a variety of extensions to make my work easy. mainly I prefer atom for community coding . Markup language support helps me to work with CSS code.
It is really easy to work on it and write codes. I am learning html and css coding thanks to ATOM. I added my pages there and was able to edit them all.
The menu that we had at start, it was very confusing. I couldnot understand how to start a new project by using the instructions. But later, after trying all the tabs 1 by 1, I succeeded to understand which one was the correct one.
It helps me write html codes and css codes.
Atom simplifies coding, and its amount of modifications and themes is unparalleled. It is excellent that you can alter every aspect of your workstation and complete tasks efficiently.
The portable version does not support automatic updates, so you must manually check the performance.
Atom is my preferred editor since I can update files directly from such a platform when I modify or correct errors in GitHub-hosted corporate projects. Additionally, it features a variety of attractive themes and plugins that make coding simple.
The vast array of plugins and extra features make programming in any language easier. It is such a versatile IDE that you can program in several different computer programming languages.
The first load up tends to be RAM heavy and CPU heavy, so it tends to give a false "program not responding message." I would love it if it was streamlined a little and maybe made so it loads certain functions to make it more responsive in the beginning.
I use Atom to perform all of my programming needs. It helps me program quickly and concisely because the linter plugins and the beautify plugins make my code nicely organized and readable. I am currently using it write javascript and creating a crawler.
The best thing I like about atom is how beginner-friendly it is, with a very simple interface and no new keyboard shortcuts to learn for a simple use case. What I loved is that I could find many extensions nearly for every use case that I had, be it syntax highlighting for languages, dynamic linting, debuggers and even music controls. Even I can make my customized theme in Atom if one is good with CSS.
I feel that Atom starts showing response issues when working on large text-based projects. When I try to use the search feature it is a bit slow. I found sublime text to be more efficient when working with text-based projects.
I have used Atom for a lot of projects, be it HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Java or Python. I feel that language support extensions make it easier to work with anything within Atom. Atom has built-in integrated support for git and GitHub which is an added advantage.
It is free, flexible, and can be customized. I very much like its interface.
It does not have autocorrect features and sometimes startup is slow. But overall I like it very much.
It solved many problems. I had a project that required me to have a number of lines in the document exactly the same as the base documents. It was a serious problem. I tried many editors but his one solved this perfectly.
The users do not need to speed a single penny for using this software. It has a lot of customizable potentials which can be used to mold the software according to your requirements. It is a lightweight software that takes almost no time to boot up.
It is not my first choice for working on large projects as it lags and sometimes crashes when doing so. It does not have a large collection of plugins for you to add. It does not have self-correction feature which other IDEs do have.
I am using Atom as an IDE for Python only to work on small projects or to make some changes on already completed projects. It provides you with a lot of shortcuts, thereby increasing your efficiency.
