GitHub's Atom: Yet Another Text Editor.

from the probably-better-than-notepad dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "GitHub's Atom, a new text editor blending C++ and web technologies, is now being released as a limited beta. The new editor, which claims to have partial TextMate support, is extensible with the help of a centralized add-on manger (the same way Eclipse does) and is heavily integrated with the github platform. The final licence is not known at the moment, but the project already makes use of over 80 open source software packages.

Access to the beta is currently "invite only"."

    "Vim is old"? Then what? Editing text is old. What kind of argument is that?

    Vim is way beyond a good editor. I won't even consider a different editor that don't offer the same features that makes it so great. (No, I won't bother to list them here.)

    But I'm looking forward to neovim too, even pledged to the project.

    I was talking about Vim's source code. It is old, complex c98. It is difficult to add features to it and maintain.

      C98? What is that? "More-than-C90-but-not-quite-C99"?

    Wow, I hadn't heard of Neovim... that's awesome... I think I'll pledge when the next payday comes around... :)

    I've been wanting a kde version of vim for a long time... it sounds like it will be easy for someone to make that happen after this :)
