CTRL + SHIFT + P for command palette was almost certainly pioneered by Sublime Text, not Atom. As was the multi cursor. The horrible performance of a browser as a text editor was pioneered by Atom. VSCode surprisingly succeeded at getting performance to a not as bad level, that is apparently good enough for a lot of people.

True, when I tried Atom and VSCode back in 2018, VSCode was always the more performant of the two.

@marioprawirosudiro7301 10 ай бұрын

This. Sublime was the VSCode before VSCode, including the massive plugin ecosystem. Much faster too. The advantages of VSCode over Sublime is that it's free (you have to pay for Sublime... sort of...) and that it has an _even bigger_ plugin ecosystem.

@asdfghjkl-jk6mu Same here :) Maybe if I accidently become a really cool dude, I might switch to Neovim, but that's improbable.

@@grafgrantula6100 Mate I suggest you do that! If you got vim motions down then neovim will be a breeze. That is if you can enjoy customizing it hah! I recently(over like a total of two weeks) switched fully from vscode(with the vim extension) to neovim, and love it. Look into nvchad, which brings a more ide experience to nvim

It used to be my go-to code editor until they killed it.

A little pedantic but im pretty sure sublime text was the first editor with ctrl-shift-p. And atom kind of replaced sublime text as the defacto "I dont want to use a ide but I dont want to use emacs or vim editor".

Good for the community. For someone who mostly uses notepad++ all these dev environments a bit of an overkill for me.

Atom was my favorite 2 years ago, when it was killed I migrated to VIM, and now Emacs

Now if the news was "Sublime text goes open-source" I'd be excited. But an Atom revival? I mean yeah sure, kudos to those guys, but good luck beating VSCode. Which doesn't win any prices for performance but the frequency of updates is unreal and the amount of features they implemented is phenomenal. They'd have to pull quite a few rabbits out of the hat to compete with it.

Unfortunately I don't see a reason for using Atom/forks. I'm using VS Code mostly and it's very slow for big projects. I'm hoping that Zed will soon be released for Windows.

there's no reason for another editor to exist if it's just gonna be written in electron. what is it competing with? fortnite?

@loli42 10 ай бұрын

@@PomuLeafEveryday if your text editor doesn't try to compete by being low latency with low memory usage, then how is it even competing? vscode already has every feature anyone ever wanted, so you're not competing by making another slow web-based editor that uses 9001 gorillabytes of memory and ships everything but the kitchen sink. don't we already have dozens of those? video games are supposed to be fun. nobody really cares about anything else. hollow knight runs like SHIT and it's still one of my favorite games. video games get a pass because they are toys, whereas text editors are supposed to be tools.

Why can't Electron die already? 😭

@SeanJMay 10 ай бұрын

Because virtually nothing other than browsers have standard, cross-platform development experience, offering standardized API access for virtually everything that isn't an OS-specific features, and then simplifies access to OS-specific features... ...and Tauri, which is Electron but running Rust in the background, instead of Node, chooses to use the default browser that's bundled with the OS, so that it's already installed... which means, again, that if you need Bluetooth or serial support or GPU compute, that even Tauri is not going to provide a cross-platform experience, until each browser from each vendor implements all of the features your app needs. Oh, and declarative layout and style (CSS/HTML) is fantasticly simple for big, static, minimally-interactive stuff, versus more imperative immediate-mode APIs. The reason Electron exists is so that it can exist everywhere, without making that happen manually.

@@GianniLeonhart well, to turn that around, when will the developers of the OSes stop being lazy, and give us standard access to standard interfaces, for accomplishing all goals, across all OSes, in a memory/process safe fashion, that reasonably allows a developer to safely make something without juggling dozens of different imports, each set of imports being environment-specific... oh, did I mention it also runs on x86-64 and RISC chips... with all kinds of spaghetti to tie those together, with predicates to run the right branches in the right environments, on the right architecture... and then some ungodly monstrosity of a compile process that also includes XCode, and owning MacBooks, just to compile, because Apple hates you... When will they stop being lazy, form a consortium, and give us that? Because otherwise, you either have to have 3 teams making 3 different products, with 3 different codebases, and pray that they are all making the same thing, and that it's cross-compatibile, hire one magician who knows everything about every library and every edge-case on every major OS, but is also great at making interactive user experiences and isn't just a low-level OS dev, who can architect the entire system and build process, for others to develop on... ...or the spaghetti monstrosity I mentioned above. Meanwhile, WASM allows you to run most compiled library code in most common languages, if it's the compile target... regardless of the platform or the chipset architecture... and idiomatic WebGPU code runs screaming-fast compared to how people write idiomatic OpenGL (/OpenGL ES / WebGL 2), because it's an abstraction over a standard subset of features / behaviors in DX12 / Vulkan / Metal. And it automatically dispatches to DX12 / Vulkan / Metal, depending on the environment, so you don't have to rewrite it all by hand, or take extra performance hits from writing multiple translation layers stacked on top of one another, and then debugging the ensuing mess. You don't want solution 1, where you can only use your productivity app if everyone at the company ditches all of their computers and just buys new MacBooks... or just buys new Windows PCs... and the makers of those tools don't want to spend 3x the money on 3x the number of devs and QAs, to solve the same bugs 3 different ways in 3 different codebases, with features launched on different platforms at different times... and you don't want the 3rd option, where everything is broken, all of the time... ...and there are only so many OS wizards, who are also devops wizards, who are also architecture wizards, who are also devex wizards... That's not a common person, so option 2 requires you to be lucky enough to have someone like that, who is happy with the pittance you are paying them.

I want to like Pulsar (Atom) I do, because I'm not a huge fan of who i have to thank for VS Code, but its just not there, stock Pulsar takes twice as long to load as my VS Code for whatever reason, severely lacking plugins in Pulsar.. i want to like it but the quality of life using it just holds me back.
