Been using atom for a week now , have to say nothing beats sublime text.

I moved from sublime to atom to sublime then VSCode. I like VSCode it handled a lot of what I didn't like about atom.

I prefer atom for small things and a real IDE for everything else. Never liked Sublime

To me there is Emacs and nothing else.

Sublime is still the best but so much improvements are made in vscode and I feel like it's going to be the best editor in sometime.

@theothergod I hope you are happy with it. I can't understand neither VIM users nor Emacs users. Why do you use this stone age software? But that's more of a retorical question.

I had deleted Atom for VSC or bbedit because atom would take so long and not respond after Command + S. Its weird must have been deprecated extensions or something etc. Not amused.

@shasha I use it regularly. It's a daemon process and closes only when I shut down on my computer and as @Lisanna explained, it is not just an editor, it is more than an ide and close to an OS. Whatever you can ever imagine an ide or editor might do or will do in present or future is already done or being done in Emacs. Somethings don't grow old, they grow.

Try VScode :) it's the tits.

Looks like will have to give a shot to Emacs

@jshint you should. Better use spacemacs. It is preconfigured. Many important emacs settings are done there. So will be easier and fun.

@theothergod @Lisanna
I don't believe in general purpose solutions. Usually they do everything poorly or just good enough to work. I believe you that it can be super cool and stuff but how long it will take to configure? Is it even usable in Android or Java development? If you are a web, Ruby or some other hipster technology dev maybe it will work for you. I have to be honest, I never used Emacs for more than a few lines of useless text. But I also don't know personally anyone that ever used it for good. And I haven't seen any proof of this "super coolness". Maybe it's my fault but I don't know why should I invest so much time to learn it.

@shasha dude if you had used Emacs and configured it to it's capability, you could have understood the hype about it. Referring to java development using some lisp codes and right packages you can write java codes with autocompletion, use browser, listen to music, code multiple java programs parallel in a same window using only Emacs and still you will have enough RAM to open 20+ tabs on chrome. For android development, I know it has some limitations of you prefer Android studio. It's for us hacker to figure out how to make android development better in Emacs. Emacs isn't made in some proprietary corporation with paid employees and demanding managers. It is made by hackers who weren't satisfied with what was given but kept asking what more can we do with this. By the time, editors were used to edit multiple codes, EMACS could function like mini os( more than ide). If this ain't supercool I don't know what your definition of cool is.
