Atom Alternatives for Chrome OS

Alternatives to Atom for Chrome OS with any license

Visual Studio Code

Code combines the streamlined UI of a modern editor with rich code assistance and navigation, and an integrated debugging experience – without the need for a full IDE.
- Much faster, highly active development phase, more and more add-ons are added to the marketplace, open source, and cross-platform. Guest • Dec 2017 • 8 agrees and 0 disagrees
- VS Code has arguably better defaults than Atom especially with the pre-configured minimap. Atom's themes use HTML/CSS so visuals are fully configurable but that also makes it a bit slower with drawing operations whereas VS Code draws everything fast, very noticeable with the minimap which reacts practically instantly to changes. VS Code also loads faster and just feels faster in general. Otherwise, both editors offer a massive list of great features and droves of extensions. Ugotsta • Nov 2019 • 2 agrees and 1 disagrees
- Much much faster, much better IntelliSense/context-aware suggestions. Even supports debugging. dantex47 • Sep 2017 • 10 agrees and 5 disagrees
- Seems faster than Atom, less resource-hungry. Also using it as the default text editor on macOS. Guest • Jun 2017 • 12 agrees and 7 disagrees
- Faster, still customizable, more basic things such as terminal built in hum4n01d • Jun 2017 • 5 agrees and 7 disagrees
- Makes everything easier, faster. someonelast • Jan 2018 • 0 agrees and 1 disagrees
- It has a great user interface and it is also built with Electron. archmaster • Apr 2017 • 3 agrees and 5 disagrees
- Telementry, key bindings, resources usage. Guest • Dec 2016 • 7 agrees and 13 disagrees

GNOME Builder

Builder is an IDE for GNOME that is focused on bringing the power of the platform to more developers than ever before. The Builder project started out of a class teaching people to program for the GNOME platform. In the process, we realized that we need to improve our tooling so we started creating Builder!
- Does not rely on Electron. Loads of plugins and tweaks make this a great IDE. Simple design as you'd expect from a Gnome app, but don't let that disract you from how powerful it is. sw1ayfe • Jun 2018 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees
