Atom Reviews & Product Details

It's very lightweight, highly customizable, and has a huge support community.

It is a bit of a CPU / memory hog when you have multiple projects open at once.

A sleek universal document & text editor. It supports all languages I've encountered for web design, scripting, database queries, etc.

All the plugins are brilliant for Atom, love the editing and syntax highlighting. Many shortcuts to use and speed of launching and the fact its available one Mac and Windows is great. Interface is very slick. Love the default dark mode and Version control integration is perfect.

Occasionally crashes but very rare. Also had a couple of bugs with the plugins but otherwise really stable.

We specifically use it to develop on the force.com platform and so integration has been great, with plugins available. Having multiple developers using Git is also a bonus and has streamlined development.

I like that you can customize everything about it, it's general aesthetic, all of the open source libraries you can download or write for it.

It's possible to get your configuration in a broken state due to a corrupted library or changing a weird configuration. Hardly a criticism though because it's the risk that comes with the freedom to customize your environment.

Writing code.

Atom is a very powerful text editor that comes with a substantial community support, plugins, and support from GitHub.

The only downside of Atom is that it takes some time to configure the environment to your liking and sometimes requires outside tooling (i.e. installing Pyflakes for linting).

I'm not using this product to solve business problems specifically. It is used to write code.

I use a variety of file types in Atom and they are all parsed very well.

It could be more intuitive to hide line numbers.

I have been able to keep all of my files in one place which reduces context switching and makes me more productive.

Atom allows me to change files that sync with other softwares, such as Avogadro. Through Atom, I can edit files for molecular visualizer software that allows me to run computer simulations to analyze chemical reactions.

Atom is actually one of my favorite code editors. The load time takes a bit long though.

Atom allows me to edit code for files that I need to run computational simulations. This is crucial as I work in the biotechnology industry.

I love the color options and ability to tailor the program to your personal taste when coding

Can be tricky at first to get used to, but over time it makes so much more sense

Creating websites

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 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

The plugins are amazing !! I love the layout and the live server. It makes web development super easy. I was using this as a collage student and now I use it at work! its the best!!!!!!

I do not have much that I done like . If I have to say the its the update of the project. That is when we change the branch in the github sometimes the project does not update properly which in turn leads to problem with git commit

I code everything the whole product in atom.

I change anything I want about at any time via my own code or common packages. All keybind mappings are configured with a simple JSON file which allows for a very customizable experience that is easy to transport to other environments

All packages are generally open source which can lead to some wonky interactions. That being said all packages are configurable to the point where you can often disable certain parts of them.

Cross org code standards, developers aren't locked to a machine because it can run off a thumb drive if need be. Being able to create a portable and repeatable ecosystem for developers on day one is a priceless thing in the day and age of rapid development and a new technology to deal with every day.

It's very customizable, you can tailor the IDE to your needs, even development upon the existing code base.

It's incapable of handling large files with easy, theres a bottleneck performing under heavy load.

I'm creating innovative solutions for cultural farming and deforestation of the amazon forest. The software is lightweight and runs smoothly most of the time and any device.

I enjoy how easy it is to configure the editor with plugins. It's easy to add additional language plugins and tools such as linters to improve your development workflow.

I dislike that there is not a built-in SFTP client.

I am using Atom to develop websites and build tools to manage environments with Vagrant. Atom has given me a versatile, fast editor that I can use for both light and heavy development.

Extremely powerful and extensible text editor that can become a primary IDE with a vast selection of plugins. Integrates well into your favorite frameworks and tooling.

Atom can quickly get bloated with plugins and become less performant. Can take a while to start.

Increases team velocity by making engineers more productive.

the UI is great and you can customized it too

kinda slow compare to other text editor;sublime text

it has a lot of package and extensions which is make my job much easier

I love the integration with Git the best. It makes it so easy to visually see the changes that haven't been committed yet, and easily revert back changes. I'm a fan of the visual aspect of it, as a front end developer, I'm a bit less comfortable using terminal for stuff like this. Plus, you can customize almost everything (colors, commands, keyboard shortcuts). And, integrated terminal!

There's a weird bug where it gets stuck when highlighting... that's all I can think of!

I use this daily for work, it's my preferred code editor. As I said before, the git integration makes it much easier to keep track of changes and keep your code synced.

Atom allows for a ton of customization. There are so many plugins you can download to speed up coding.

There isn’t anything I dislike about Atom, you can really make it what you want.

coding is so fast in Atom, especially with all of the plugins you can add

The fact that it is free and it's developer-base is large. I love the wide range of packages for different uses and different environment support.

I miss some of the deeper integration that some of the JetBrains tools have.

Daily software development.

I like the extent to which the UI can be customized.

I genuinely can't think of anything I dislike about it.

I use it daily for coding web pages in CSS, HTML, and some Javascript. The developers in the office use it for much more (coding languages I haven't learned yet).

Atom has plug ins that help me effectively code and save files I need

My only complaint about Atom is not being able to see what i have coded live.

I am able to code out websites with ease at a fast pace than using any other text editors. Atom is very user friendly.
