Suggestion to support Atom #57

I would like to ask whether you would consider implementing Colorcoder also for Github's Atom?

while porting it might be an easy task i would like to reiterate what i said on #56

i dont have the time to suppor colorcoder on any editor but the one i use myself daily. While is find bugs and places for improvement in Colorcoder by actually using it daily, having a port on Atom or basically any other editor would require me to have a dedicated testing setups and consume more time—and, shame over my head, atm i dont even have time to work on Colorcoder for Sublime, just look at the timestamps of the open issues.

I recieved numerous enquires (partially via email) about porting Colorcoder to other editors, Atom beeing most prominent suggestion. I always answer by encouraging the porting, i would love to see Colorcoder being accessible to more developers as accessibility of coding to people with dysgraphia and the like should not be bound to a particular editor and i hate being the bottleneck on this.

To answer your actual Q: yes, i consider to port it but only when i am sure to have time to actually support it and fix bugs promptly, not leaving the user with unusable plugin for month
