I miss Atom. I loved it. I loved all the crazy plugins people would make to do all sorts of things. It was a fun time.

These days I'm stuck on QTCreator most of the time. It's OK for core editing functionality but there's a lot that I miss, and some things like the generic Language Server support just aren't fleshed out much.

I'm tempted to use another editor whenever I'm not working on UI files but it adds some friction.



Was atom functionally ever any different from vscode today?


I only remember Atom being painfully slow. It was using Electron too btw.


At the time it was actually called "atom shell" iirc. Electron came from Atom.
