Overall Satisfaction with Atom

Atom IDE is a very nice application having inbuilt CLI and it supports multiple extensions and programming languages. I and our coder are using Atom and VS Code mainly because these applications are easy to use and need very low system configurations.

  • Affects performance

  • Support GIT
  • Supports multiple programming languages
  • Integrated CLI
  • Extensions
  • Plugins
  • Can write code easily and debugger help us.
  • supports VCS like GIT
  • Negative is with plugins not often
Atom supports multiple programming languages with debugging options. Other IDEs also have these features but speed matters. I sometimes feel negative about plugins in Atom but all else is good. PyCharm is very heavy as compared to others. VSCode and Sublime are good.

Do you think Atom delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Did implementation of Atom go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Atom again?

Yes

I have been using this product since my college days when I had a very low system configuration PC. It's a very good application but sometimes the mix plugins back-end gives unnecessary errors. All features like multiple programming language support, extensions, etc. are personally good. Sometimes we face performance effects when using for the last many hours.
