Atom vs. Codacy

Atom is great for simple HTML coding. It's fast, has intuitive shortcuts and several options. I particularly love the "convert spaces to tabs" function that I haven't seen in other editors.

I'm not sure how it would fair in more serious web development today, if there are plugins for live updates of the page you are working on...

But the problem is that it has been discontinued so you know there are no new features or fixes coming through.

I recommend it for companies that use several programming languages, as it supports several languages ​​such as Java, Javascript, Python, among others. However, for companies that use only one programming language, there are specific tools for each language that can be more complete in this scenario. I do not recommend it for companies that only use open source software, in which case there are other tools available.

• Seamless and easy integrations with GitHub for fantastic pipeline of viewing errors.
• Intuitive UI which is easy to customize and built-in patterns recommendations and security checks helps to fix issues faster.
• Metrics and duplication and complexity easily identify areas that need attention to fix it easy.
• Great for open-source projects.

• There should be a better user tips manual page to learn keyboard shortcuts
• It would also be beneficial if mathematical and data analytic tools were added
• it has quite high start-up timing when you open large projects to work on it
• Sometimes, atom closed suddenly and do not open again
• It still lacks better options with the previews even though there are already some by users adding plugins
• It doesn't have self-correct features for lint errors, unlike IntelliJ

• There should be customization to get code quality for your own projects if standards are provided.
• Offline or a standalone application is much needed from Codacy to get local support.
• Spots a lot of errors and small ones that don't affect much about quality and are de-facto standards.

Well Atom is open source so the re-new is a no brainer. The only way I would stop using Atom is if the developers somehow made it not function well. Or, if the project got forked to a commercial version or something. Or, there could be the case that development stops or that it was not updated on this or that platform

I give Atom a 9 because it is one of the most modern text editors built with JavaScript intentionally to allow the editor to be changed and modified with custom functionality that a team may need. I think I would otherwise give atom an 8 due to support, but it gets a 9/10 because of the extensibility/plugin capability.

Atom has an active forum and a Slack group where you can ask technical questions. Occasionally, the authors will pop in to answer a few questions here and there, but most of the time, its other helpful users who will assist you. Though they aren't the most knowledgeable, they are at least timely.

As for plugin support, that differs with each plugin, but as I mentioned before, many plugins are no longer maintained.

Our company likes to keep things open, and we don't want to prevent developers from customizing their environment the way they want. Atom seemed to be a lot more open than our existing tools and has good community support on pretty much any programming language. This can create some confusion since adding too many extensions or customizing can make the tool slower than it is supposed to be.

Even though it is paid while SonarQube is free, we chose Codacy because it is simpler to configure and maintain the implemented rules. In addition, it offers support for the main programming languages ​​on the market, ensuring that we can continue to use it if we want to use other languages ​​in new products.

• The tool we use when we need quick fixes. Allows fast, reliable scripting to fix urgent problems in our applications.
• When applications grow from 5-10 files to 100's, they need to be migrated to a heavier-duty IDE. This can be cumbersome and quite annoying, but is necessary to maintain code integrity on such a large scale (since it cannot be done with the limited default toolset of Atom).
