Atom Reviews & Product Details

I like Atom because it has a built in package manager and an extensive list of packages. It can run on Mac, Windows and Linux and this multi platform support is the best features of Atom. It is free, open source and written in C++,and CoffeeScript. It has embedded Git control that is very good feature of it.

Main disadvantage ot it is that Atom is very slow to startup. It has a relatively high memory usage, especially when compared to some other text editors not based on Electron. It tends to crash or hang with large text files and it is worst thing of Atom. It slows down exponentially with plugins and it is also a main disadvantage of it and I didn't liked it.

I mainly use it for programming and coding by integrating with Python. The open source nature of the project and accessible source makes it easy to either modify plugins that we have installed. And it made me very productive.

Atom is one of the best free text editors. It supports almost all programming languages. It is available at no cost to the developers; hence, it benefits them financially. Its auto-complete feature is one of the best among all the text editors I have used.

It takes a little longer than other text editors to boot. When working on large projects, it feels a bit laggy to use. It does not have a lot of plugins available.

I primarily use Atom as a text editor for Python language. As it is a free IDE, it benefits financially. Also, due to its excellent auto-completion feature, it has increased by efficiency very much.

If you're used to Sublime Text, this is a breeze to use. The Command Palette is available in Atom. The Github team has been quite helpful (you can see these individuals pushing to Atom repo's all day)

Bit Slow (Sublime Text 3 is insanely fast) To write the packages, you'll need to utilize CoffeeScript. (I'm not sure if this is a pro or a con because I'm a Python programmer.)

For quickly opening files, use a fuzzy finder. Use a fuzzy finder to quickly open files. Its user interface is far too simple to utilise. Atom creates a clutter-free environment where the focus is on the code rather than the distractions.

Supports large number of programming languages. Add pakages to add new functionality. Lots of customizations.

Startup time is high. Closes randomly. Preview functionality missing. Formatting linting capabilities missing.

I use it as text editor. Sometime as IDE. I work on multiple languages. Its solve my problem not to use multiple IDE and text editor.

I like the atom packages as they make it even more powerful and easier to write code in a minimum amount of time.

There is nothing about Atom I think I don't like; I have been doing web programming for a very long time, and I found atom super valuable for my day-to-day coding work. My most recent project was a personal back office application which was completed within 1 day, Thanks to Atom for features likes Github integration and packages libraries.

Version Control, Github integration has been super time saving for us. We can easily pull repositories of the project we are working on from github and edit anything we want.

I use Atom to perform multiple tasks when designing learning modules for Canvas LMS and WordPress, as well as batch processing for other files accessible in plain text. Atom is a straightforward interface that tucks the bells and whistles away in the menu bar, allowing for my focus to remain on the workspace. When making redundant changes to documents to meet formatting or accessibility issues, I am able to fly through multiple pages in a very short amount of time. The interface also has a shortcut link to GitHub for ease of communication.

The only caveat I have with the Atom program is the multiple windows that open upon starting the application without calling to a file first. There is a need to close ~3 windows of information prior to obtaining a fresh workspace.

When other online providers change their link format, I can very quickly make the alterations across all of my pages and update them very quickly. I am also able to preview publishing layouts in Atom to be sure my pages are ready to go before loading them.

Atom is a simple and intuitive text editor with a lot of customisation options available. The sheer number of packages available for Atom is so high and you will find really useful packages like linter, hyperlink and git blame. The text editor also has git inbuilt and hence you don't need a separate version control application installed in your mac if you are using git via Atom.

It feels rather slow the longer you keep it open. Figuring out what packages you need and don't sometimes isn't straightforward as it has so many options so its a pain to find the right one.

Almost 80% of my work and personal projects have been done with Atom. With the package manager being installed by default it makes the whole process of finding what suits your style much easier.

Atom has a simple UI that makes users use it without any issues. It has support for github and has a lot of plugins. Along with this, a user can write its own plugin. Support code formating for different languages and its minimap feature also helps sometimes.

Sometimes it becomes slow when working on multiple files. Syntax highlighting for some languages is missing. And some plugins crash randomly.

Using Atom for writing and debugging Python/Django and frontend technologies. Its Github support is excellent. Atom's auto-complete feature helps us to write code instead of searching on google.

- modular, pick the plugins you love - moddable, hack your keymap / hotkeys / write scripts for your own actions and assign them the shortcuts - amazing for dynamic languages that don't require an IDE - lightweight

Not great for java ecosystem compared to intellij - just not as full featured

I have developed software at several companies large and small using atom as my primary editor

Being able to run python scripts without having to open the terminal and try to remember my folder path. Syntax highlighting and customization make coding a breeze.

There isn't much to dislike. Full support for swift would be much appreciated.

I am writing scripts in Python. The app is lightweight and reliable. It never hogs my machine's resources.

I really like its lightweight solution! It is nothing for our CPU. You can add many plugins or additional features which can really help you to save your time and finish your projects on time, for example, code checker, or running in the app itself, or just the one which makes your code more alluring by ordering the codes. Ot the other hand you can easily integrate your codes from any other platforms or text editor which you need to work on it using atom. Atom's simplicity makes it now one of the best text editors for coders.

It gets very slow when you try to add a lot of plugins and it has quite high start-up timing when you open large projects to work on it. On the other hand, some programmers

I work all my projects on it! It doesn't matter if it's a python or web development programs which really saves my time.

Atom has nice design. Atom has active package community. Atom concepts are similar to other IDE's concepts. So transition is not difficult. You can install few packages and start working on Atom. Free version is rich in features. I personally love the light and dark theme. Atom has many language support. Atom has software for Apple, Windows and Ubuntu.

Atom eats lot of CPU power. It's bit slow compared to sublime text. Sometimes takes time to start up and load. I think by default there’s no project managers but several packages offer that. If you install many packages, Atom will start giving you performance issues.

I use atom as integrated development tool. I use it to code in Java, Javascript, Ruby, Python, Kotlin etc. I use it for programming and coding. We have integrated Atom with 3rd party plugins for web and mobile decelopment.

You can customize it so much that your code editor can be totally different from your friends not only in looks but also in functionality because so many plugins are available and many things can be thoughtfully customized in unexpected and fun ways. I was a JavaScript developer for a long time and my main tool was Atom, later changed to Java and Atom was still my main editor but the profiles didn't resemble each other at all.

It is not a bad thing on its own but since I enjoy playing with the customization options so much I normally end up tinkering with something new every few weeks and explaining how and why it works the way it does gets harder, especially when explaining something to a coworker and forgetting that a part of the task is automated thanks to the way I have Atom set up.

I tend to code a lot less with my current role but whenever I need to code something Atome is my weapon of choice.

It is really customizable for any needs and you don't have to do it yourself. As long as you have an internet connection you can grab any of the customization snippets or in my case, I got the snippets from my team leader ready to go to work with our APIs and Postman, it also has a direct connection to Git/GitHub so you don't need to leave the editor to commit, push or pull anymore.

It is a really cool editor but it isn't an IDE, it is perfect for my current needs since we are working with an API call at a time but I would not choose this as my main editor for a full development

After I finish the design of the API calls in postman I code them in python so it can be automated in other devices and I use Atom for that.

It's really extensible and customizable in every way that I need and really easy to customize since it is open-source. I have my own addons to make my workflow more efficient and there are many addons like FormData to Postman that make API development easier a few clicks away. As advertised is hackable to the core so my Atom as an API tester may not even approach a java programer API

It's amazing but it isn't a full IDE, when dealing with heavier and more complex projects I tend to use Pycharm because it's easier to keep track of everything. It's a little harder to keep track of dependencies with Atom.

Python and API development and QA

ATOM is one of the best of text editors I enjoy using/ It's a fast program for generating any JavaScript frameworks, particularly in NodeJS. The program offers the right amount of features just by installing plugins. It supports the Git version control system, which has been very useful to me since I do not need an extra Git client software to implement their commands. ATOM also yields the best customizations through extensions thanks to GitHub.

Even though the interface is enjoyable and practical, when developing codes, I realized that I also have to own an account that I found hard to adapt and use. It is time-consuming since, as a beginner, one needs a lot of time to study and understand the program. Another thing that has not impress me about ATOM is that it is hard to install and configure in the Linux Operating System. The editor needs a lot of technical knowledge to install.

I use the program to develop applications in NodeJS. I have been in a position to develop the applications in a better and faster way.

It is a very useful application for coding as it can be used on Windows, Linux, etc. It has an autocomplete feature which helps to write code faster.

Something does not work as expected as it still needs some polish. Some of the codes are not present in the autocomplete feature.

It is very helpful for me when I forget spellings some code, it's one of the main features that help me to complete it without wasting time and it is very easy and reliable to use.

Atom is highly configurable. Also, the Atom is full of packages that can be managed by the command line. Git integration feature is really nice.

Atom is a very heavy software. It takes a lot of time in starting. Also, it becomes slow when working with multiple tabs.

I use Atom as a code editor. Atom is built by Github, therefore the git integration feature is there in Atom and it is extremely helpful.

Atom is the code editor I use on a daily basis. Just about every feature I could possibly want for writing code is available either as a standard feature or an extension. It simply just works. Over many years I have used numerous editors and IDEs. Atom became my go to tool without even thinking about it after daily usage. I don't feel I miss out on more visual coding, and compared with similar tools I do not feel there are any better all around. I can't say that Atom is necessarily the best at everything in terms of features, but it has all or most of what I expect, without any unnecessary fluff. And there are few times that I can count where the interface caused me any headaches.

The one thing that seems apparent with Atom is on a lower powered machine it can sometimes be a bit slow. I'm not entirely sure the exact reason why in all cases. I had always assumed it was perhaps memory usage when having too many tabs open. But when I close tabs it doesn't seem to affect the RAM very much. There are a few times where certain features of Atom will open up based on accidental hitting of keystrokes, and it isn't always obvious how to make them go away. I have gotten used to that, but it could be more intuitive. The other annoyances are minor, and cannot claim they a big dislikes.

I need a great tool for coding. Atom delivers. It supports all the languages I use on a regular basis in terms of syntax highlighting. It supports projects and directories. It has a clean interface. And so many more details. There are a few editors that come close, but none quite so good. And it works well as a plain text editor too!

Atom is one of the best editor and seamlessly integrates with Git workflow CI and CD. reviewing merge request with atom editor is also seamless and we use atom for more than 2 years and it's stable for development across linux, windows and mac. Our organization have adopted atom editor for its stableness and opensource. The updates for the atom editor makes the editor more usable and theme support, auto complete feature is one of my favorite feature.

We didn't have any negative experience with the atom editor until now. Atom editor crashes once in a while loading large files around ~500MB in linux machine.
