I get that it's open source provided you use codium not code but I still find that interesting

I just want Atom back, or anything that works like it. I want a text editor with a folder tree browser. Syntax highlighting is nice. And decent full project text search.

I use vim for writing code, and atom for taking notes, or just reading code. Then they shut down atom and it sucks.

I hate that I need to dedicate so much time to finding new tools in tech. It’s nice that vim doesn’t change.

what about sublime? it has projects, folder file trees...

I switched from Sublime to Textmate and then to Vim a long time ago then added Atom back in because everybody else used it. I’m not so good at retracing my steps decision wise.

I’ve been using sublime.

I guess something about the “your code as a thumbnail” navigation feature kinda bothers me. Seems to go against the idea of small, readable files.

Back when I loved that feature, I was still writing 1000-line files.
