Pulsar, the best code editor

Otto@programming.dev to Programming@programming.dev – 31 points – Pulsar, the best code editor

Pulsar (former Atom) is still the best code editor in my opinion. It is easiest and fastest to use, has all the nice productivity boosting plugins and is overall great for all the same reasons the Atom was great. 🚀

That can only run on mac. Hard pass.

It looks like it'll be really nice when it comes out for the other platforms though, and they do plan on doing that eventually.

It's probably a good thing to get it right on one platform first before getting into the other ones. If they release it buggy on Linux it'll leave a bad taste.

It does look nice, but unfortunately I cannot use it. If it ever is released on Linux I might give it a try. But Vim is hard to beat after its setup to be IDE-like.

It's open source though and they plan on adding Linux/Windows support in the future

They're working on Linux compatibility. It's not ready yet but it's well along the way with about half the necessary tasks completed. Windows will be after that.

Atom did bring about tree-sitter at least.

We got to a certain point with Atom. It was 2017 when we'd shipped Teletype and it felt like, okay, it's no longer our own ignorance holding us back, it really is like the platform holding us back at this point.

...

the ironic thing is that we created Electron to create Atom, but I can't imagine a worse application for Electron than a code editor, I don't know.
