Comments about TextWrangler as an Alternative to Atom
Initilally I used TextWrangler, on Mac. Working on Windows/ Linux Atom is a decent alternative.
Graviton is very lightweight compared to Atom and it does not send any data to any server. Its plugin system is still young but it's almost at the level of Atom's.
