It was the best editor I experienced ever. Thoughtfully designed coloring, simple but powerful built-in Git/GitHub client, the linter integration which was only shown when we needed it... After Microsoft cut off the development resources for Atom and it became unstable, I tried to migrate to VSCode many times, but I required several years to accept the UI degradation. I wish Microsoft chose Atom and only replaced Atom's text editor component with Monaco editor... There are two Atom's successor, but Zed still has a critical bug for me (everything on the app is blurred), and Pulsar does not have maintained linter plugins, probably due to limited resources. I'm still looking for a better JavaScript/TypeScript editor...
(Atom is no longer available.) I used Atom a long time ago. It was super interesting to see a text editor that you could inject your own CSS into, and the community quickly made a ton of plugins for it. Somehow, all of that momentum seems to have been imparted to VS Code. Atom did great things, but it's gone now, and there are better editors in its place.
