> Sadly, this is still an Electron app in the background

Same thoughts here. Nevertheless, it's nice that it uses NeoVim as its editor.

I started to use Atom on a daily basis since 1.7 and 1.19 is pretty usable. Got tired of waiting for an open source editor comparable in features and functionaity to Sublime Text, but written in a lower level language such as C++, Dlang, Rust or Go compiled to native machine code. It also looks the same on every OS and has nice and original features such as automatic whitespace trimming that I haven't seen in Sublime, or a CSV editing addon for that matter.

Too bad each app comes with the burden of it's very own instance of Electron.




I'm glad Atom works fine for you. I was forced to use it for about 2 weeks (company machine with no installation privileges) and it broke about 5 times. For reference, I've only seen vim dying once in 10 years (seg fault).
