GitHub's Atom: Yet Another Text Editor.

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"."

    Is there a new wave of editors coming? I just saw the fundraiser for Neovim (http://neovim.org/) as well. Personally, I am disheartened at the lack of vim-like editors. Most of the vi emulation I've seen in other editors are superficial at best. They seem to miss the key points of operator-object (command-motion) and repeatability (not a word) that makes vim a joy to work with.

    If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
