Atom Editor: Overview & Package Roundup 2016

This is a YouTube video I made in 2016 when Atom Editor was still new and unheard of in the dev community; I made it mostly to show my colleagues’ it’s features as I was often finding myself re-explaining the same information.

This video shows some of the great features Atom offers such as its plugin system and design.

I also wrote an article that trended on Quora comparing Atom & Sublime if you’re curious: How Does Atom Compare with Sublime Text? (Quora)

Packages I use:

• Atom beautify
• Atom like brackets editor
• Autocomplete project paths
• Atom live server
• Clipboard plus
• Editorconfig
• File icons
• File size
• Git time machine
• Highlight line & Highlight selected
• Jumpy
• Local History (←life saver)
• Set syntax
• Linter
• Pane layout plus
• Platformio IDE terminal
• Atom json color (Love this!)
• Autoclose html
• Autoprefixer
• Linter jsonlint

Currently I’m still using Atom, but I also like to use Microsoft’s VScode. Which text editor do you like using?
