My Atom 1.x Impressions

My Atom 1.x Impressions

(updates as they come)

  • startup is too slow
  • memory usage is quite high
  • alerts about updating packages are nice
    • no release notes displayed on update, though.
  • need a way to version my atom config
  • settings UI is buggy after filtering packages
    • need to launch new atom window
  • i need stronger colorized diffs (like textmate)
    • seems like i need to dive into theming
  • no way to pipe things into atom (by default)
  • multi-line editing is slow (~500 lines at once)
    • yes, there's other ways to do such a thing.
  • kinda weird that windows are mostly independent from each other
  • deprecation warnings for packages are nice
    • possibly 'scary' for non-developer users (should they be using atom)
    • i can't actually do anything about them, except maybe disable the package
  • atom auto-update and release notes are nicely done
    • no way to get back to release notes, though.
  • settings UI is a bit overwhelming
  • need a way to set (or override) tab settings in a more freeform way.
