Just curious, is Atom's UI considerate about modifying the content of a configuration file? I'm tired of programs changing the structure of it willy-nilly without even notifying the user (e.g. a click in the toolbar implicitly loads the configuration file and saves it with a different layout). Is Atom OK with this?


This is a problem with Sublime Text too. Don't bother putting comments in your settings file, or rearranging its contents. One hit of Ctrl-minus, even by accident, and your config file is wiped out and replaced with an auto-generated one, which incidentally contains your updated font size. You're welcome.
