Atom (Legacy)

[!WARNING] Atom is Discontinued. GitHub archived the project in 2022.

Atom pioneered Electron-based editors and the modern extension model. Its spirit lives on in VS Code (Microsoft) and Zed (created by Atom's founder).

When to Use

  • Do Not Use: It receives no security updates.
  • Migration: If you have Atom packages, look for their VS Code equivalents.

Alternatives (2025)

  1. VS Code: The direct successor in spirit and tech stack.
  2. Zed: The spiritual successor by the same creator (Nathan Sobo).
  3. Pulsar: A community fork attempting to keep Atom alive.

Core Concepts (Historical)

Teletype

Real-time collaboration (precursor to Live Share).

APM (Atom Package Manager)

The tool that inspired code --install-extension.
