What is Atom?

If you came to this post wondering what an atom in physics is then I have bad news, I am talking about the text editor Atom. This is a very nice text editor for writing code. It supports many programming languages and has some features, like auto-complete, that makes it great for any programming. It also has several add-ons that can make your life a lot easier, like a nice to-do list add-on.  Another thing that I really like about it is that there is a version for all the operating system and they all work very well for each OS. This means that I can be consistent when switching between operating systems. This is just my preference but it is really nice to be able and work in the same environment on all three operating systems. Granted there may be times when you need an actual IDE for the task at hand, but when you don’t require one then I suggest using Atom. There are other alternatives, like notepad++, but it doesn’t work as well with Mac OS as it does with Windows.

Checkout Atom for yourself.
