Why doesn't /g/ like Atom?

>>62434050
no 32bit support

It's a web browser that tries to be a text editor.

>>62434050
Im white

>>62434050
It's a worse version of VSC.

>>62434050
Its a web browser.

sublime3 is released

20% CPU USAGE FOR A BLINKING CURSOR

>>62434050
Electron

>>62434050
because vscode exists. stop making these fucking threads

>>62434050
Nobody needs atom

>>62434189
wasn't it 30%?

Because Atom is slow... Someone should remake it faster. Good rust project

>>62434440
Vscode is shit though.

>>62434658
>Vscode is shit though.
your opinion is shit. it's been gaining users like crazy and everyone loves it

>>62434050
Because it's slow and too heavy on resources

Also the UI is convoluted in an unnecessary manner

They're slowly rewriting critical parts in C++, so maybe it will suck less soon

>>62434050
Takes decades to start compared to its competitors.

>>62434050
It's either paper or vim. That's the /g/ way
Fuck bloat

Activating telemetry by default should not be an acceptable behavior. Even Apple asks if I want to enable it or not upfront.

Cause it's insanely slow, if you want to fall for the electron meme just use VSCode which is a lot faster.
But literally just stop being a retard and use Vim.

I use vscode but really want to learn (spac)emacs , give me strength /g/

>>62434050
I prefer my text editor to not be hackable by old farts. Security is must.

>>62434050
I used it on my laptop with an i7-7700hq and 8gb DDR4 (GTX 1050 GPU, but that's not very relevant) with no other programs loaded (besides a few background programs that are fairly lightweight) and it would FREEZE for 10+ seconds after character entry when it had been idle for a few seconds with no input, and also occasionally during input.

Sublime doesn't do that. Vim doesn't do that. VS code does it, but less. Notepad++ doesn't do it, to my knowledge.

That's why I don't like Atom. It looks good, though.

>>62435409
Atom asks you on first launch

>>62436102
Yes and you can uncheck a box to disable it, it doesn't require you to "add an option" to disable it.

>>62434050
VS Code replaced it. Just like C# replaced Java.

100MB+ in an editor of text, fuck this shit

>>62436166
C# is already dying though.

>>62434050
Meme editor

>>62434050
It's a text editor with as much overhead as an IDE. Defeats the purpose of a text editor.

>using any of sjwhub's products

On top of that, it's bloated, it's slow, and VSC is a lot better than Atom. I don't even like using text editors that isn't vim but VSC or even Sublime is a lot more worthwhile.

>>62436200
Replaced by Rust?

vscode ===>>>> shit-atom

>>62434050
I like it

>>62434050
I use atom. Even for C++.

It randomly pegs one of my CPU cores to 100% when the editor is doing nothing. The Atom devs should learn to use a browser profiler

>>62434050
It's not vim or emacs

>>62436698
>electron
fucking electron

>>62434050
it's not vim.
emacs is acceptable if you actually want a lisp machine instead of a text editor nad nano works for brainlets.

everything is redundant or bloat.

Ive used atoms for like a year or 2. Haven't noticed any slowness on my 16 GB work machine

>>62434092

Just use notepad if you want to edit text you autists

>>62434788
Stop being an obvious shill. It's proprietary shit that is worse than the free offerings atm. It's spyware without any real benefits

>>62434050
not enough ram for its bullshit

>A hackable text editor for the 21st Century
Why wouldn't you want to use Emacs, a hackable text editor for the 22nd Century?

woah

>>62434130
this. microsoft pajeets are way better programmers than github SJWs...

Why would I need to hack my text editor? What are the top rated "hacks" for Atom? I get by with gedit and SublimeText.

>>62434050
i literally just use vim for everything

literally any other text editor exists

>>62434165

Either you babbies need to watch another YouTube tutorial on "How to build a PC" or you're lying

>>62440183
Just because the hardware can handle it? If anything it's against the spirit of /g/ to run something superfluous instead of something basic that just gets the job done, just because they have the means.
