Atom editor

Atom editor is a free windows code editor. The biggest feature of this software is that it uses web technology to build desktop programs. Atom is based on the Chromium core and Node.js. The entire editor is a Web page, and functions such as local file system access and third-party process execution are implemented through Node.js. Atom has also made great progress in default settings, configuration interface, package management, etc.

Features:

Atom is an editor that is very similar to Sublime Text in all aspects. It is produced by Github and is currently free.

Atom's functions are highly plug-in-based, and even many basic functions have been made into plug-ins, so after installation, it comes with fifteen plug-ins...including settings.

Plug-ins, themes, commands, and text-based configuration files always make you feel that this is simply how Sublime Text operates. But it's simpler and more intuitive. Of course, it is still difficult for us to say that it is easy to use. But if you are used to Sublime Text, it will be very easy to get started. Plug-ins are also abundant.

However, compared to the paid Sublime Text, the free Atom is quite attractive. After all, the developer is well-established and is also cross-platform.

Integrated plug-in introduction:

1. FIREBUG of Google Chrome is embedded in it, which can be jointly debugged internally. Whether you're tweaking Atom's CSS interface or adding some HTML and JavaScript functionality, it's easily controlled and very convenient to use.

2. Node.js support makes it easy to access the file system, fork child processes, and even start services directly from your editor. Developers can directly select the libraries they need from more than 50,000 Node.js package libraries, or call C or C++ libraries. Seamless integration allows developers to freely mix Node.js and browser APIs, as well as manipulate the file system and write to the DOM from a single JavaScript function.

3. Comprehensive modular design features consist of a minimalist core and more than 50 open source packages. If users don't like some software packages, they can replace them by themselves. Atom's goal is to create an extremely extensible system and blur the distinction between "users" and "developers."

4. Other comprehensive features Atom comes pre-installed with some features that developers may expect/need in a modern text editor, such as the following: file system browser, fuzzy finder for quickly opening files, fast search and replace in projects, multiple cursor selections, multiple panes, code snippets, code folding, clean and personalized UI, import TextMate syntax and themes.
