Atom - A simplest, finest , open-source text editor
- ROI can be said as neutral because eventually, we have to switch to another text editor because of many limitations of Atom for large code.
- In starting stage of the project, everything was fine and things were happening as expected
- Overall it has been a great experience using Atom in my organization but many challenges were faced so that's something Atom should work on.

Beautiful experience with Atom IDE
- Can write code easily and debugger help us.
- supports VCS like GIT
- Negative is with plugins not often

Atom editor - multi-cursor mode for the win!
- As mentioned before, Atom is highly effective for bulk text editing. This has proven useful when moving information quickly from one format to another (e.g., free-form word document into more structured formats like CSV).
- Atom is only particularly useful in the hands of someone with a high degree of technology proficiency; as a result its impact has been limited at my organization due to varied levels of technical skill.
- Atom has been useful for basic coding and scripting in Javascript (most recently, building an OpenStreetMap visualization).
- Atom has made writing C++ code more enjoyable.
- Atom has taken a decent amount of time to configure with plugins, but in my opinion, it was worth it.
- Atom has helped us reach our business objectives of writing quality C++ code and working on the JNI layer for Android apps which have a native code component.

Solid editor but since eclipsed by VSCode
- Atom's multi-cursor plugin helps me do repetitive coding tasks very efficiently.
- Atom's configuration is easily duplicated and can be copied over a machine to machine so new engineers can have the same Atom installation as everyone else, making environment setup and tool standardization a breeze.

Used Atom about 1 year

Atom- A freelancers review
- Well, because its free whatever gain you make of it is all profit.

Atom- the perfect script solution
- 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).

Atom: You have to build it bit by bit.
- Atom hasn't really affected the business objectives at our institution. It's an option, but one of many to edit text.
- The real ROI comes from staff being comfortable working in the way they see fit. The standardization happens outside of the choice of text editor (IDE/Version Control/DevOps).
- I could easily not use Atom and have no difficulty completing my work.

Atom: an editor for the 21st century
- Atom is free. So it reduces the need for extensive fees and saves some dollars.
- It has very good code complete features. So that helps accelerate coding.
- It can be used to write code in different languages.
February 04, 2019
Why do I use Atom?
