In fact, as GitHub itself acknowledges, latest additions to the editor came a long time ago, limiting itself to delivering security patches in the latest updates. It can't be ruled out that someone would step forward and continue development of Atom, but he would have a lot of work ahead of him. Brackets has its user base, and it has it mainly because they are used to it and, if I'm not mistaken, it was the first to natively add something to see what we were typing in real time, at least in documents like the ones in HTML/CSS. The possibility is there, but it will not be easy for them. Well, Atom is a FOSS-software, that is, free and open source. On December 15 they will archive the atom/atom repository and other organization repositories.In those six months, the company will continue to inform all users that Atom will no longer receive support, something that they will also do in atom.io.On Wednesday, June 8, they announced the goodbye of Atom, which will cease to exist in six months.In the Roadmap of this goodbye there are only three points. And what is in that future? Not too much.
They also say that it is a difficult goodbye, that they paved the way for thousands of applications, among which Visual Studio Code, Slack or GitHub Desktop stand out, but we must look to the future. As a result, we've decided to end Atom so we can focus on improving the cloud developer experience with GitHub Codespaces. As new cloud-based tools have emerged and evolved, the involvement of the Atom community has dwindled considerably. According to GitHub:Ītom has not had significant feature development in recent years, although we have carried out maintenance and security updates during this period to ensure that we are being good stewards of the project and the product. Microsoft has its Visual Studio Code, with more user base and from which it prefers that there is no competition, so why keep both?Īlthough the official version says otherwise. Microsoft bought GitHub GitHub kills AtomĪtom was created in 2014 with the best intentions, thinking that it was powerful and customizable, and it was all laughs until Microsoft bought GitHub.
