Additional Information

Atom is abandonedware. Due to complications with github being acquired by microsoft, it is unclear if/when this will ever be formally acknowledged. To give an idea of how abandoned this software is:

The discussions section was deleted without notice after getting spammed despite methods existing to fix discussion board spam.
None of the original maintainers/devs have committed to the repo since 2020
There are, as far as I can tell, two official maintainers for this repo these days.
The CI pipeline is broken with no indications of being fixed

This software should not be used. Nearly all of its dependencies are ancient, and nobody is left to pass the torch. It is too big, has been touched by too many hands, and has been left to die for too long to be rescued.

If you would like to explore a de-microsfted text editor based on Electron, try VSCodium, a repackaged binary of VSCode's open source codebase with all the microsoft telemetry stripped out, and which uses an open source extension distribution platform separate again from Microsoft.

I personally find it to be quite adequate.

@raer0 Atom is still going up right now. There are a few contributors and maintainers as you said, contributing to this repository. It's still working hard. So, it's not worth the deal yet until Dec 15 2022.

I'm aware. There is an ongoing effort to modernize Atom's dependencies and build process at https://GitHub.com/atomcommunity/atom

There is a fair bit of activity by a handful of dedicated devs here:
