From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I just want Atom back, or anything that works like it. I want a text editor with a folder tree browser. Syntax highlighting is nice. And decent full project text search.
I use vim for writing code, and atom for taking notes, or just reading code. Then they shut down atom and it sucks.
I hate that I need to dedicate so much time to finding new tools in tech. It’s nice that vim doesn’t change.
Pulsar is the continuation of Atom
Really? That’s awesome thank you!
what about sublime? it has projects, folder file trees...
I switched from Sublime to Textmate and then to Vim a long time ago then added Atom back in because everybody else used it. I’m not so good at retracing my steps decision wise.
I’ve been using sublime.
I guess something about the “your code as a thumbnail” navigation feature kinda bothers me. Seems to go against the idea of small, readable files.
Back when I loved that feature, I was still writing 1000-line files.
