Overall Satisfaction with Atom
Atom is mostly used by developers across my current organizations. It is a highly customizable editor with many new developer-friendly features. It can also be custom built to suit individual needs. These customizations have quickly made it a favorite with many developers using Atom. In otherways, Atom brings the best of Sublime Text and Notepad++ together.
- Customizations
- Active community for package support
- Rich user interface
- Performance: it's resource hungry
- Stability across OS
- Issue loading and manipulating big files
- 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.
Atom has many open source competitors in Sublime Text, Notepad++, etc. When we consider the presence of time tested players like Notepad++, the fact that Atom has been able to carve a niche market of its own says a lot about its capabilities. The user interface is very rich and this has helped in its adoption. It is free and has support which also encourages enterprises to adopt it.
