Atom A hackable text editor for the 21st Century. At GitHub, we're building the text editor we've always wanted. A tool you can customize to do anything, but also... Atom is a text editor, and lacks nearly all of the features required to be considered an IDE. While there are extensions available to make Atom behave similar to an IDE, they are unable to come close to replicating the features needed for effective development. Comparing Visual Studio to Atom is like comparing a motorcycle to a tricycle with a motor taped to one of the wheels. Guest • Feb 2018 • 12 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. Guest • Nov 2017 • 11 agrees and 3 disagrees Disagree Agree Atom is a text editor. Albeit an extensible one it is not primarily an IDE like Visual Studio and would need a lot of tweaking to even get close. Guest • May 2018 • 8 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree VS is a specialized, full-scale IDE. Atom is (as defined) a "hackable text editor". Now, how similar are these??
