I see a GIF of someone going deleting a couple lines of code, with a meter showing that the application is maintaining 60 FPS. Was this not something Atom could do before? It seems to me that the bare minimum should be maintaining 60 FPS while performing basic editing tasks…is there some nuance here I'm missing?
I haven't used Atom for at least an year and a half now - After trying out Visual Studio Code I haven't looked back. Has the performance improved? Is it at the level of VS Code?
I don't understand the desire for all the git integration into the editor. I mean, it might make sense because Atom is owned by Github, but why otherwise?<p>I feel like a lot of their resources are being put towards git integration instead of improving the editor and performance... which are some of the primary reasons people leave for VSCode.<p>Maybe I'm the odd man out though, since I like to use CLI git directly.
Will Atom and Visual Studio Code merge into one project now that Microsoft bought GitHub? Or at least stop sharing extensions?<p>I would vote yes! I would love to see better GitHub integration in VS Code.
It's crazy that so fewer editors can fold code blocks in a compact manner, so that it hides line returns that are inside curly braces (might be a little trickier with python) including the ones which are just after and before those braces.<p>So far only visual studio (not code) can do it properly, and one which name I forget. I posted issues everywhere about it. I'm still disappointed, or it might be difficult to implement.
I wish I could use Atom but I work with very large files at time and it is very slow at some tasks (like selecting all selections of text and editing them all at once), forcing me to use Sublime Text.<p>Can some kind user tell me if this latest version performs better now?
Honest question: can someone explain why everyone loves emoji these days, especially with regards to 'modern' programming communities such as those around JS and Rust? Is it just a celebration of the fact that we have Unicode support everywhere now?
