Nick Hodges Several editors have "borrowed" ideas from SublimeText. Not to say SublimeText didn't "borrow" some too. :) Anyway, Sublime is still my go-to text editor, though I feel it's been dying on the vine for quite some time now. The developer is very slow to release updates, and is basically non-communicative with the user community. He probably has a real job. Though you're supposed to pay for SublimeText, it still works indefinitely if you do not. This probably made Sublime popular, but kept the developer from making significant money.
Marco Cantù I've been using Atom on and off since beta. I find it slow. Which is odd because I find VS Code fast, which is based on Electron the Atom.io shell.
Yes, I heard they are related, Microsoft has apparently done quite some work on it, though... I'm still experimenting a bit. Also not sure Visual Studio Code was really meant for "traditional" languages, compared to Web technologies, but seems it is getting a very broad scope. Good there are Pascal/ObjectPascal plug ins...
Old news ;)

It seems to me that this is a direct response to Sublime Text's success. It's eerily similar.
ReplyDeleteStefan Glienke Ah, I missed that one. Oh well.

ReplyDeleteJust out of personal curiosity, has anyone here tried https://atom.io?
ReplyDeleteVisual Studio Code IS Atom which is why they are so similar. http://thenextweb.com/apps/2015/04/30/microsofts-cross-platform-visual-studio-code-app-is-based-on-githubs-atom-editor/
