The key to being productive as a programmer is to have a great code editor. I have been an avid user of Atom since 2014, and its successor Pulsar since now in 2023.
Pulsar (former Atom) is still the best code editor in my opinion. It is easiest and fastest to use, has all the nice productivity boosting plugins and is overall great for all the same reasons the Atom was great. 🚀
They’re working on Linux compatibility. It’s not ready yet but it’s well along the way with about half the necessary tasks completed. Windows will be after that.
It looks like it’ll be really nice when it comes out for the other platforms though, and they do plan on doing that eventually.
It’s probably a good thing to get it right on one platform first before getting into the other ones. If they release it buggy on Linux it’ll leave a bad taste.
It does look nice, but unfortunately I cannot use it. If it ever is released on Linux I might give it a try. But Vim is hard to beat after its setup to be IDE-like.

If you’re posting long videos try to add in some form of tldr for those who don’t want to watch videos
That can only run on mac. Hard pass.
It’s open source though and they plan on adding Linux/Windows support in the future
