[Chicago] Regarding Text Editors

[Chris Foresman]

I’ve been using Atom for the last 6 months or so. There are some nice things about it—and with plugins I have a nearly identical setup to SublimeText, but I think Sublime 3 has better performance, especially when having multiple files and/or large files open. That’s a concern for the project that I typically work on, which has lots of files that are over 1,000 lines. Atom is sort of “node native”, though, so if you’re comfortable with JavaScript it’s very easy to hack on, whereas Sublime is more like “python native”, FWIW.

I've been using it instead of Sublime for the last couple of months, and I really really like it. I suppose I was just prejudiced against Microsoft products, and that's why I hadn't tried it out before.

Basically, it doesn't ship with any built-in language support, but there's a really good Python language extension (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=donjayamanne.python <https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=donjayamanne.python>), and after I installed that everything just worked really smoothly. Copying/pasting from the features list:
