One text editor to rule them all -- Atom
Notepad++ has been my favourite choice of recording ideas or drafting my Steem post whenever I'm on my desktop. Recently due to the need some simple development, I start to look for something more powerful that than the Notepad++(it is still my favourite for the sake of simplicity and lightweight).
Atom impressed me a ton!
Atom almost meets all of my requirement as a dream text editor:
- Open-source
Oh yeah, I have indescribable love toward all the open-source projects and products! Community support, rapid development, free of charge, lively product, and more.
- Ultra-customizable
If you like to make things truly yours, Atom is the text editor for you! Even if you are not, the default setting is so powerful that might be the only tool you need in a small to medium project!
- Powered by Github and strong community
Tons of plugins to make Atom more than just a text editor. The famous Linter catch programming syntax error while coding in real-time. Markdown Preview is my favourite package allowing to live preview the markdown post in the making. There is a lot for useful gems in the repo!
- Damn sleek and modern design
While packed with almost thousand of features, the Atom is probably the sleekest (as sleek as notepad) and powerful text editor I've ever tried. It is just like the Notepad++ on the steroid.
This tool has way more to offer than what I've covered as mentioned above and it is one of the most loved products amongst the devs. They definitely have more weight in their opinion to use Atom as a development tool.
Check it out even if you are just going to use it as a pure text editor for Steem blogging!

I wonder how does it compare with brackets
http://brackets.io
Used it for a while for pure texting purpose, guess I'm not yet in the place to compare them both but I really like Atom.

It's nice, but I really don't like how people are switching from IDEs to Atom and VS code, IDEs are just so much nicer.
Because it has IDE integrated inaide as well? I don't know as I mainly use it as text editor and I'm not a developer. Specialised IDE may be better compare to 'general' tool like this. But I'm in no position to comment on this.

It doesn't have all the features, like auto-import and proper refactoring. They are getting better on having good intellisense.
Yeap, I guess such tools is not designed to replace the IDE. They mean more for the web development I believe.

Used it for a while on windows in the past, but still fall back to notepad++. Now using brackets on mac. Might try to install Atom again.
Who can live without notepad++ right. I guess Brackets is more or less the same with Atom but the latter is the king of customization and extendability.
