from the just-what-we-needed,-another-editor dept.

Looks like Github has finally did an official release of that editor we all love to hate and generally be uncertain of. Except for me of course. I use vim. No one ever questions vim right? From the announcement:

Today we're proud to announce Atom 1.0. It's amazing to think Atom has only been out and available to the public for a little over a year. A lot has happened since then. Atom has been downloaded 1.3 million times, and serves 350,000 monthly active users. The community has created 660 themes, and 2,090 packages including can't-live-without packages that have their own mini communities like the linter, autocomplete-plus, and minimap.

In the 155 releases since launch, the editor has improved immensely in performance, stability, feature-set, and modularity. The editor is faster in scrolling, typing, and start-up time. Atom now has a Windows installer, Linux packages, and several heavily requested features have been added like pane resizing and multi-folder projects.

Editor: Are there any Atom users amongst our community - what makes it your editor of choice?

    Perhaps there's some CV boosting, investor entrapment, IPO seduction at work here? or just NIH ego boost? ;)
