Overall Satisfaction with Atom
Atom is a free text editor that is outstanding for writing made forms of code. I currently use if for composing HTML, CSS, Javascript, and JSON for local testing prior to uploading code to an LMS or CMS.
- Atom is highly customizable and allows for various themes and extensions that can make your code easier to read.
- Atom has many code hinting features that allow users to write faster and integrate with services likeLINT that can clean up your code once your done to meet your internal teams style choices.
- It's very fast and manages projects well - Accessing other files within a related folder(s) is very easy and intuitive.
- It's free!
- The basic setting it comes with aren't very user-friendly, and if you're new to code editing you might struggle with getting it set-up in an effective way.
- I sometimes have issues with Atom launching from Command line on a MAC(Hyper).
- Dreamweaver users my dislike the lack of a 'design view' but there workarounds.
- Cheaper than Dreamweaver.
- Allows people to write coded faster.
- Allows new coder learn faster with autofills and code hints.
Adobe Dreamweaver is really meant more for designers who don't understand the underlying code/CSS principles etc. While it's improved heaving over the years it's still rights a lot of extra junk/redundant code and isn't taken seriously among true web developers.
