Atom text editor - enhance how you code
https://atom.io/ Hello minions, still stuck with shitty sublime or not so shitty notepad++? I know ARitz cracker is!
What is atom?
Atom is a hackable (all the way to the core!) text editor for the 21st century made by yours truly GitHub!
Why should I switch to atom
If you're currently using a free text editor (such as sublime, or notepad++) you will most likely want to switch to atom as it has everything those editors have but more with packages made by the community! Worried about viruses with the packages? Ha! no need every package is open source because they're all published to github.
It's easy to install packages, it's a 1 step process. Here's an example of their installation process: 
This goes for themes too, aka UI and syntax themes for atom, most of sublimes themes are on atom, along with notepad++.
What are some good packages?
Well here's a bit for each of the people on this site:
General:
- Remote-FTP -- Is what it says, connect to your ftp server within atom easily.
- Pigments -- Colors color code that you add, aka: rgb(255,0,255) would be bright pink
- Minimap -- Just like sublime on the right it lets you preview your code in a minimap
- HTMLPreview -- Let's you preview your HTML code in a side pane
People who enjoy Lua development would like:
- GLua Language -- A language registration for GLua
- GLua linter -- A program helper if you make any errors in your code
People who enjoy web development would like:
- Emmet -- Makes web development 10 times faster with it's shift+tab bind to automatically input classes, ids, even pages.
- Linters(html,css,js,etc) -- Detects broken/bad code and shows you ways to resolve them.
Program with another language/method? Well if you want you can search the packages for yourself! https://atom.io/packages/ https://atom.io/themes/
Speed?
It all depends on what packages you have installed, atom directly tells you how much MS your installed packages will take to start up, it's not a big deal but for people who want to be uber fast, if you have an SSD that runs fast, you should be good with the standard packages. Just try not to over do it with packages you might not use.
That's pretty much it
Do you use atom? You should share some stuff about it, what theme do you use, what packages do you enjoy? Hopefully this convinces some people to switch to atom, it's definitely better than other free alternatives.
I didn't get payed for this, just wanted to do something fun.
