I'm not ready to give up Atom

Roland Taylor - Oct 22 '22 - - Dev Community

Hi y'all! This one's a break from my usual content, but maybe something you'll relate to quite a bit.

You ever have a favourite editor, that you come back to over and over, no matter what? I mean, sure - other editors do it better (ostensibly), but this one does it right!

For me, that editor is none other than Github's Atom. While everyone and their mom's given up on Atom and slid on over to VSCode, I'm having a hard time breaking free.

I mean, don't get me wrong, VSCode is great, and I've used it quite a bit. It's just... Atom is perfect (stop that! I see that eyebrow rising!) - it has the right layout, the right themes, the right packages (sort of). It's just... right.

Now that it's being taken away, and the community seems not to be picking up the slack much, I don't know how to let go.

Do any of you feel the same way?

What's an app that lost support and reached its EOL (End Of Life) but you couldn't give it up?
