Hi guys, I am trying to get a new code editor for my projects. Browsing around I found that atom (which is one that i’ve always wanted to use) is still “alive” thanks to Pulsar project. What do you all think?

    I tried ita little bit, I found it a little difficult to configure and although it’s backwards compatible with Atom’s plugins the duality between Pulsar native/Atom plugins is somehow perceived. Didn’t manage to even find a good markdown pack and it felt too “awkward” and cumbersome, I switched back to VS code for scripting/markup after a couple of days (of non intense usage because I work with IntelliJ most of the time for coding).

      I had a similar experience recently - picked up Pulsar because I was getting uncomfortable with VSCode’s telemetry. Found it a bit tricky to config, and then had trouble with atom packages that obviously haven’t been updated for a few years now that are a bit out of date. Switched to vscodium instead!
