Atom Reviews & Product Details

I like this editor because its simple and very extensible also customizable.

I didn't like the startup time is slow. and also lack in big files.

Save me time when I write/edit code source.

Liked the cutomization part of it with add-ons required for a particular use. While coding, the variety of extensions make it really handful- like Linter, File Icons etc

Its performance, which is kinda sluggish, while opening & working with large codebases.

To write code for Web Applications

I liked how it takes care of the minute details and make a smooth flow of user experience.

I didn't like the way it manages plugin. I would want it to be more robust.

Day to day Ide

Atom is highly customizeable and modular. It can be used for just about any language if there's a plugin for it. It also allows great keybindings, including using Windows/Super key combinations which was one of my main reasons for using the IDE. There is a Vim mode plugin as well so my hands don't have to leave my keyboard.

The IDE takes up more memory than expected. It also occasionally has problems in Windows, not sure why but my config files get deleted or moved and it breaks the editor. It has terrible boot times and gets slower with each plugin you add to it.

Atom is an IDE and with the right plugins, could be used for just about any project. I personally used it for C++ projects and had a nice keybinding setup that let me never leave my keyboard. It also has auto-completion plugins and a color picker pop-up. It was too heavy for my system, so I just went to vi.

The look and feel of the Atom Editor is the best I've seen. That alone tempts me to use it all the time. The simplicity of editing any text document is great. Plus the Git integration is fantastic.

The editor only possesses language introspective features (autocomplete, package inspection, typechecking) through plugins, and support is waning. Getting all the plugins to play nicely is a large time investment upon starting a project. Debugging is very challenging to accomplish in Atom, and it's totally different for each language technology. Overall the inconsistency makes the investment seem less than worth it.

It a lightweight & fast editor that can be used no matter the language used for a software project.

It's the first IDE I used and it was very easy, great for start and not very complicated to use.

Again, because it is more simple, there aren't too many things it is capable of it seems. But not a big deal to me.

We use Atom every once in a while for small code changes in Typescript - our other preferred IDE does not support it.

It supports multiple file format. It has different theme. You can customize the style. Good handy keyboard shortcuts.

Its integration with packages. I would like to have default packages from atom.

Mostly as a text editor.

Atom is a great open source text editor. It works extremely well for every language I have come across(Java, python, javascript, etc...). It also has a great array of plugins to fill almost every aspect of a full IDE without being too bloated.

It can be slow at times. It also feels like it is not as well developed as Visual Studio Code. It lacks all the features and speed of the competitors but it is on the right track.

I use this for the Javascript development and notetaking.

It is easy to use. Very simple application

Not suitable for beginners. But good for experts

Write applications. Coding writing scripts.

Ele tem plugins fantásticos como Hemmet e o Pigments (destaco o Pigments, que facilita a vida de UI designer), é altamente personalizável, bonito e integra bem com qualquer processo de produção.

It has one big problem: it uses a lot of memory and processing the machine. I have an i5 with 8GB of RAM and SSD, but I can not use the Atom - hangs, takes to open files and leaves the development process time consuming.

With Atom I have been able to solve the excessive resource problem used by IDEs such as Visual Studio or Eclipse, speeding up the worker process by isolating the UI development layer in another part of the workflow. He has been an ally for years on a myriad of projects.

Easy setup. Lots of plug-ins. Easy to create and manage projects in a lightweight manner and use as just an editor (vs something like Eclipse).

Still a bit buggy, especially when you have a lot of plug-ins installed.

Needed a good lightweight source editor for Linux. This is one of the better ones. Powerful plug-ins allow faster development.

Git integration , node.js based plugins and all the personalisations options you have. There is a huge community creating plugins for it, and is easy to find one that suit your needs however is also pretty easy to create one yourself.

Nothing actually, maybe some better alternatives appeared recently that maybe are shadowing this cool coding IDE.

You can use a really useful IDE just for free. We save a lot of money migrating from paid licensed and we have almost the same functionality just for free

the editor is very aesthetically pleasing and looks sleek. The Ui is very well done

the program freezes quite often and takes excessive time in startup. I noticed that it slowed down my laptop when i used it. The auto save element could be better in the event of unknown crashes

development.. The extensions are nice to use such as the html preview extension

The side panel and the UI interface and the navigation part of it.

The ease of package trust, use, and access.

Web development.

The user interface was really pretty and I trust github to make good products so I was happy it came from them.

It was clunky. I thought I would enjoy it, and thought it would be smooth because github made it, but I found it it to be less than great. It was slow and buggy and I switched back to sublime after a week of using it.

It's a text editor for writing code with.
