Atom Reviews & Product Details

Atom comes loaded with many features which makes it the best software for web applications development. It supports both Front End Development and Back End development which makes our work less cumbersome. HTML, CSS and Javascript languages gets very easy to implement with this editor. We can also add plugins and extension directly by going to its setting and searching the most appropriate plugin. Django development is also very easy with it.

The problem with this editor is that, it consumes a lot of RAM and CPU speed and sometimes my computer lags. Therefore it must be optimized to even work on low end computers. Other than that, it has all features you need to do development.

We have written many Javascript and Django scripts using Atom editor. We are currently using it to maintain servers of our website. The database is very easy to maintain with Atom editor and PHP scripts are also written in it to handle data in MySQL database.

Me gusta su capacidad para cambiar el estilo del texto basado en el lenguaje de programación y su poco consumo de memoria.

A veces es un poco confuso que abre los archivos dependiendo del espacio de trabajo.

Permite agilizar el análisis de fichero de códigos externos al proyecto base con más facilidad.

I think that atom is the best ide that I've tried so far because I've never seen another with so much integration with git besides that it has a lot of packages and themes so you can customize it to your liking

There is nothing important that I do not like the only fault that I can find is that by default when you install it missing many extensions such as autocomplete html tags etc ...

we currently use atom to develop all the software that we use because of the great facilities that it offers us

In general, everything in Atom is rather smooth. I like minimap to help me visually skip to parts of a file. I also like to set up some autocompletion using Autocomplete +. I'm someone who often works on a couple of files simultaneously so the ability to set up split pane editing is a must

Actually thats when I start the program it feels like slow but then its perfectly fine

The git integration is great and for our workers are perfect to save and edit projects and code. Our benefits is fresh code andperfect synchronization between us

Atom is nice because is light. Plugins and themes are nice.

It should be nice including native debug or some plugins options like emmet. Sometimes, Atom have lagg so It is a problem.

Atom is helping me to develope web apps. With Atom's plugins, I can add some features like Emmet and themes that help me to work better. I always loved material design so It has a lot of themes about it. Long time ago, I used Sublime as my text editor because Atom was heavy. Now is better optimized.

The best thing in Atom is the development of new plugins by the community. the integration with git is very useful.

the amount of resources it consumes from my computer.

I do all my scripting with Atom, also it helps me to edit and read different type of files

I just use it to code, when i'm not programming anything related to games, and it works just fine.

I had a couple of problems installing it the first time, but no big deal.

It is pretty simple and intuitive

It's web based, so easy to manipulate everything about how it looks. It also has an easy "module" based addon system where you can add syntax for new languages or expand upon existing languages. I had to do the latter in one of our projects. A very nice perk too, like Sublime, it's fast loading, which definitely adds to the decisions on why to choose this products. Lots of community support was also an important factor for as as the editor on it's own comes with minimal things installed.

Not really a full blown IDE which sometimes can help with dev, and the search is a bit slow in terms of quick searching a filename. The link between referencing class names or autocomplete is not the best but probably to be expected from a program like this that is not an IDE for any particular language.

Faster development and free so saves us money

Atom is a great open source editor and as it is open source, Atom has a large community behind it and has managed to accumulate a large number of addons that make the work much easier for the programmers when they are creating code, helping to increase the productivity

The bad thing about atom is that it consumes a lot of RAM, and if it is used for a long time the consumption can become excessive, this also happens if many addons are activated at one time

Although it can consume a lot of RAM, it does not become as much RAM as in other editors, which is an advantage if you work with old computers, its different characteristics and features make it much easier to develop, for example, it has versioning management, autocompletion in different languages, restful and useful client to test the development of APIs or support for different frameworks. If you plan to use it in he business environment it can help you to increase productivity since the development will be faster than if you use simple text editors and the cost will be reduced since the consumption of Atom resources is much less compared to other code editors

Atom gives users the power of Sublime text without the proprietary licensing. Atom has a huge ecosystem of plugins that allows wide-ranging customization. If you want a linter, there's plenty to choose from. Git integration is fantastic as it is primarily developed by Github team members. The in editor git interface allows quick iteration and the conflict resolution is superb.

Atom uses Electron as it's rendering engine. The electron is, let's say, inefficient in its memory usage. If your system has <4GB RAM then consider giving Atom a pass as you will surely run into RAM usage issues. Also, the open source nature of the project means that some plugins will fall out of date without active maintainers which can disrupt workflow.

We need a powerful text editor whose configuration is easily switched between machines. Sublime text is proprietary and licensed so we have tended away from it. We enjoy the flexibility that Atom allows us.
