GitHub is one of the largest software development communities on the Internet. Atom is an open-source text editor that can be used as his IDE for a myriad of programming languages, and whose functionality can be greatly expanded with continued community support.

It has all the features you want in a code editor: syntax highlighting, language auto-detection, context auto-completion, possibility to use multiple panels, project organization in folders, snippet support, powerful search engine, etc. It contains. However, its greatest potential is the modularity of the environment as it installs packages that add more functionality if it fits. Needless to say, the Git version control system is included for publishing to the GitHub platform itself.

Atom is cross-platform (Windows, Linux, and Mac) and can be used cross-platform in your projects. Its customization is its greatest asset. At the time of writing this review, there are already over 2000 packages and 600 themes given the degree of customization of the tool and the number of features included by default. A development environment that you can find with the incentive of being lighter than other similar alternatives.
