Atom
Extensible, cross-platform text editor with a rich ecosystem of plugins and themes.
What is Atom?
Atom is an open-source, 
Electron based text editor with a massive ecosystem of plugins and themes that are easily accessible through a built-in package manager. Being built with Electron, it uses web technology (HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Node.js) and offers the same editing experience across Mac, Windows and Linux desktops. Different from most editors, it uses that same technology for themes so the UI is highly configurable through HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

osirispawpaw thinks VSCodium is an alternative to Atom
sedeti Downvoted a comment on Visual Studio Code as an alternative to AtomIt has a great user interface and it is also built with Electron.- yuanrun20041022 liked Atomyu
I loved it, but Microsoft had to (of course) kill it. VS Code is not nearly as good as Atom. I will continue using it until it dies.
IS REALLY convenient
Needs a lot of space and system resources to do something way slower than others that I've tested.
Sometimes it gets stuck
Unfortunately, according to AlternativeTo, "Atom will be discontinued at the end of 2022," [0]. Can anyone recommend a similar editor?

Atom is very similar to Notepad++. However, it brings more unnecessary features (thanks to electron), hogs a shit ton of your RAM for no reason, uses too much of your CPU, and uses a lot of storage. It's basically a text editor that tries so hard to be an IDE, but it fails so hard that it's laughable.
Also: To any app developers out there, please stop using electron. It's like a cancer that keeps on thriving everywhere, thanks to too many simple-minded developers.
One among best Code editors
