If you were seeing Atom Helper take 100% cpu on launch or when viewing packages (especially with Nuclide), it should be fixed. Please comment or file a task if it is not!

Same here. Just keeps freezing and I'd have to force quit. Unusable.

Have they made Atom portable yet? By portable, I mean I can unzip it anywhere and it is self-contained (everything happens in its own directory structure)?

How are Atom's regex find/replace capabilities? I use Sublime Text's all of the time...and can't imagine using a modern text / code editor without them.

The big thing I miss is multi-line find/replace.

I can understand the advantage of a text editor written in the world's most popular language. But why did they choose to render text using the DOM?

Couldn't they have at least separated a rendering backend?

The title doesn't explain that Atom 1.1 is a beta test and the main page still has Atom 1.0 for download.

I went to download and got Atom 1.0, there is a special link to click to get the 1.1 beta test.

This may be confusing to people expecting 1.1 but getting 1.0 because they clicked on the wrong link.

Microsoft Visual Studio Code is based on Atom, so I expect it will get updated sooner or later as well with these changes.

Currently using atom and it's package system for a POC for a custom dumbed down editor. I'm really surprised at how much I've managed to accomplish in a week. If we go through with the project, it'll be a joy to work on.

That said, I tried editing the package initially using atom, and switched back to vim on the second day. So it'll suit our purposes, but a terminal based editor still has so many more advantages when hacking on code. (Though if editing a vim plugin were this clean and easy, I'd be outpacing Tim Pope).

Glad to hear they seem to have fixed the fuzzy finder. It was really terrible, and I actually switched back to Sublime because its fuzzy finder is fantastic. The relief in switching back to Sublime's finder was palpable, but I'll give Atom 1.1 another shot. It's interesting reading about the character measurement problem. That makes me wonder if it's even worth building a text editor based on web technologies. Sublim…

Considering the amount of packages (plugins) it has, I'd say it is worth it.

Sublime has slightly more packages. Although this is no metric of quality of the packages for either platform.

VS Code is actually based on Electron (formerly Atom Shell)
