Overall Satisfaction with Atom
Atom is being used by my team as one of the primary text editors for data analytics and machine learning workflows when it comes to making modifications to code and writing analytic SQL queries. The primary business problem it addresses is a cross-platform analytics tool that all our team members can use to make changes to code. It also allows for plugin extensibility, and thereby reduces the amount of friction when sharing text and code that needs highlighting.
- Extensibility via plugins.
- Code highlighting in various languages.
- Cross-platform support.
- User-support.
- Bug and crash handling.
- Lagging when connected to a server.
- It's increased developer productivity.
- Better bug handling and detection.
- We have the capability to use different languages seamlessly through file extension.
- Sublime Text and Notepad++
Both Sublime Text and notepad++ have a long history for being good code editors. However, it's important to realize the changes and growth in the field of text editors, and Atom is simply a lot better now in terms of community and support.
