The Pulsar text editor is a community-led project that emerged as a fork of the Atom code editor, which was officially discontinued in December 2022. Pulsar is built on the Electron framework, utilizing the Chrome V8 JavaScript engine, which may contribute to its performance being slightly slower compared to native applications. Despite this, Pulsar offers a range of features such as smart autocompletion, a built-in package manager, and the ability to work across different operating systems. The discontinuation of Atom has indeed affected the update cycle of many plugins; however, Pulsar's active community is working to provide alternatives and maintain the editor's ecosystem.

It's great, that the awesome Atom Editor is not left dead without a revival. I always loved Atom for being simple yet powerful. This is a great code editor and I generally like it more than vscode, although there are not as many up-to-date extensions available (yet?)
