Why is it so fucking slow?

>>58963904
.js

>>58963918
but Visual Studio Code isn't nearly as slow

chrome

>>58963938
Because vs code is made by proper programmers , not trans sjw hipsters that need a package to sum two numbers

>>58963904
why would anyone use this trash when sublimetext exists?

>>58963904
it's a fucking web browser

just use emacs

>>58963904
Delete what you don't need. It runs just fine

because its a webapp, which you can only access with their shit browser.

thats all it is, a locally hosted webapp and a browser with no URL entry.

Buy a i7 CPU and overclock it to 5 GHz, it won't feel slow anymore

>>58964580
>some people unironically think you should have a 5 GHz i7 CPU to run a text editor
would be funny if it weren't so sad

>>58964580
funny thing is it will still be slow because it's just that poorly written.

>>58963904
Press Ctrl+Shift+I in Atom to open the Chrome developer tools. It's literally a web app running in a frameless browser.

>>58964517
Sublime isn't libre!!!

It's never slow for me, but I am hobbiest tier under 1000lc most of the time. I've heard its only large codebases where people have issues. Works great for what I'm doing though

>>58963904
bloat.

Atom is what happens when sjw hipster javascriptfags want to make a desktop application but are too stupid to learn/code in anything other than javascript, so they make a website, package it with its own stripped-down browser, label it as "the hackable (ie: hacky) text editor" and call it a day.

>Atom installer: ~65 MB
>Sublime Text 2 installer ~8 MB
The difference in RAM usage is much, much higher (factor of 100).

>>58963904
Its in javascript what do you expect

>>58963904
It's because you're using a website to manage text, what did you expect?

>>58967648
>sublime text = $70
>atom = $0
harm yourself and stop shilling your shit proprietary software

>>58967648

Space and RAM are no longer issues. The power in Atom lies in its plugins and customization.

Because of shitters like you we cannot have proper/good software.

>oh its "hackable" via plugins
>lol why do you care about RAM or space, what are you, poor? cant afford a macbook? :^)
>it just werks
>its beautiful

if the community grew a pair of balls and actually pointed out that all the goods of the text-browser known as Atom get cancelled by its shortcomings, maybe the developers would stop and rethink about the main flaws of this shit

they could have written a native app in C++ and have the editor be INCREDIBLY fast, and widely accepted by all

What the fuck are you developing on, a TOP500 supercomputer? Atom is slow on everything.

>>58968843

>>58963904
I still wonder why people use that kind of shit (text editors built on top of a javascript engine) when geany exists.

>>58968942
Atom has memory leaks. It sometimes runs the CPU at 100% for no reason. The number of times Atom has froze my Ubuntu when I've started it is too damn high. Shitty software is just shitty software. There is no fix for that.

You would think that when GitHub pays its software engineers $150K+ each, that they'd be pretty good. But throwing a lot of money at talent doesn't help when Hiring is broken. It's just giving a lot of money to randomly lucky people.

>>58963904
I don't get the anti-Atom meme.

It takes a while to start up, but considering just how much the plethora of plugins I've installed that make my life much easier I can wait the 8 seconds (just started it and counted it) it takes to start up. Once it's running, it's running and it only takes up about 250MBs of RAM for me. That's with a lot of tabs open for a project I'm working on and what I imagine a very heavy plugin installed that scans CSS files for HEX values and displays them as colours. It being able to compile, minify and whatever else to source files on save is just icing on the cake.

Do I do web meme development? Yes, I do, but anyone going on about web meme developers not knowing how to code seems to be more than a bit upset and projecting a fuckton.

If Atom doesn't improve your life, that's cool, but it does improve mines. It also looks good, it's cross-platform and it's free. Hell, my configs and plugins are saved to my OwnCloud folder and all my computers (at work and home) pull the config from there and Atom runs fine.

Maybe you should just use your preferred IDE instead of wasting time shitposting about something you don't like in order to fit in. How many lines of code did you write today, anon?

:^)

Web model is horrible to make editor.

Chrome shit

>>58972950
there is a way of doing what you do with other tools while not using so much of your RAM/cpu.

That's the point of this thread i guess.

But you might want to stay oblivious about that, since learning Atom/Sublime is much easier and you don't care about performance.

If you use some program badly design or just not optimized (because you don't care), what you imagine others will say about programs you built, hm?

>>58963904
It's not your computer is just queer

>>58963904
i hate this shit so much

>>58973497
>other tools
That's the thing, I know how to do the majority of what I do using FTP clients, the CLI and "other tools" but I much rather just do it in one window. I honestly expected Atom to be less stable after I installed so many extensions but it's had no impact on it outside of a longer start-up time that it more than makes up for with the time that it saves me.

I also know this is a pretty shit argument because all programs should have some level of accessibility to even lower-end computers but I have the RAM and CPU to spare for this one program as opposed to multiple that might be less intensive.

>If you use some program badly design or just not optimized (because you don't care), what you imagine others will say about programs you built, hm?
There's a very, very big distinction between my work and the tool I use to do my work, though.

If Atom wasn't so extensible I wouldn't give two shits about it desu. It'd just be another program written in JS for no reason other than to be hip.

>>58963904
<turn Google Chrome into an IDE
<wonder why it is slow
Because it's written in JavaScript, not C or Lisp. Use Emacs.

>>58963904
Why is what slow?

Should I know this logo without context?

Is it open source?

Run it through a debugger and figure out what parts are slow, anon. It is not rocket appliance, it is basic software engineering. If you can't do that,

>>>/v/

vscode is written in javascript
maybe your pc is too slow

The full registered version is not free and cracking it is illegal, and even if the software was given away free-of-charge (gratis, or free as in free beer), the software is still not libre (free as in freedom) which is what I meant by "free."

It is not licensed under a FOSS license. I am not granted the four essential freedoms that a software is required to grant in order to be called "free/libre software."

How does Brackets compare to Atom?

>>58973914
That's not legal, anon. If you actually had a job instead of circlejerking over a proprietary text editor you'd probably be able to buy it but alas. Sublime is overrated.

well, if it works for you, who am i to say otherwise

also, sorry if i was bit blunt, since you are working you are doing better than me at least (currently majoring in computer eng)

i've been using atom for at least 1 month and even having a "good specs" pc it takes some time to load and it annoys me... a little. I'll be changing to vim as soon as my semester ends cause i hadn't time to learn about it.

>>58963904
