Hi all,

 

Has anyone ever come across a program called Atom before? Its used for coding by the looks of things.

I have started using atom moving across from sublime, does alot of the same things multiple cursors etc. I like it and its made by git hub?

Yep, Atom is my favourite at the moment. Atom is very customisable with different themes and plugins. It good as well as it high lights the different syntax, which is good for editing certain configuration files on servers. Visual Studio Code is a good alternative to Atom.

I'm quite a fan of brackets, also x-platform and open source.

 

Brackets - A modern, open source code editor that understands web design.

When I first tried Atom it was really laggy, so I moved back to Sublime. Some good features though, especially the git integration (as you'd expect from Github!)—maybe they've improved the speed now too. When I tried it you couldn't open files bigger than 1mb too.
