AdrianSoMC • Sep 2017 • 1 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree Atom has not got any solid debugging features (and packages) out of the box or at all. For example, it is not possible to debug ASP .NET MVC applications (IIS) without heavy digging and writing own package to do this. Atom.io is not an IDE. Features of atom-ide-* packages are too poor in comparison with Visual Studio. Unable to build C# projects makes Atom absolutely inappropriate for tasks Visual Studio (well, too slow, but) does.
