Thoughts on Pulsar code editor?

Hi guys, I am trying to get a new code editor for my projects. Browsing around I found that atom (which is one that i've always wanted to use) is still "alive" thanks to Pulsar project. What do you all think?

i used Atom for years until they suddenly stopped development. Pulsar is a fork of that project.

i use it for low-level code editing like bash scripts, js, and markdown document editing. some json and html.

I like it. I also come from Atom, and I found it pretty easy to set up for my perhaps simple needs. What I really, really wanted was to continue using the Hydrogen package, and that succeeded.

I've been on Pulsar since Atom retired and I love it. I'm mostly doing AsciiDoc with a bit of HTML, CSS, JS, J/CSON, and OAS/YAML.

Some of our team switched to VSCode but I prefer Pulsar's UI and workflow, and especially the multicursor support. Obviously it's still under active development to tidy up leftover cruft from the fork, and there are a few more AsciiDoc-specific features I'd love to add without resorting to custom scripts, but overall it's my favourite editor by far.
