I'm still sad Pterosaur [1] is no longer maintained. [1] https://github.com/ardagnir/pterosaur
What about Vimperator or Pentadactyl?
I use this Firefox add-on to edit text in gvim from time to time: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/its-all-text/... But I don't see the advantage of editing text areas with atom, which presents an extremely similar text editing experience compared to the experience the text area already provided. On the other hand, moving to Vim to edit a particuarly long comment or what have you makes more sense becaus…

Atom is a full featured text editor, like vim or emacs. The editing experience is therefore way superior to Firefox or Chrome textarea, and you can use all the shortcuts, plugins and goodies you are used to. For a short comment, a basic textarea is of course enough, but when you write something a little longer, I think it is a real gain of time to be able to edit in a real editor.
i'm more interested in the screenshots window manager. having been forced on a mac recently... just the fact i can't move my windows with + is driving me crazy. and to add insult, the title bar that i have to hit to move windows is smaller then anything on browsers such as chrome and firefox.

I think that's i3. But it's Linux anyway, why would you be interested if you have to use Mac?
i guess i saw something that reminded me of the cocoa/whatever-osx-UI on the the screenshots. but looking closer now, there is nothing other than atom and chrome, both have custom inconsistent UIs that do not hint the OS they are running on. you are right, it can be linux or anything else.
It would be even cooler if HTML input can be edited using markdown source. For eg., you compile an email in Gmail, but edit it using Markdown in Atom (or whatever editor); the final content gets rendered as HTML. Effectively you are sending HTML email that was composed and edited in Markdown.
This is a really cool idea, accidentally pressing my Sublime shortcuts on website forms is definitely a very common mistake for me.
I have some bugs open on the project and maybe someday I can switch from Vim to Atom comfortably.
I also hear that the It's All Text! author is lazy... every time I go home to the family. ;-)
A similar behavior is available with edit-server[1] and the accompanying Chrome plugin[2] in Emacs. [1]: http://melpa.org/#/edit-server [2]: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/edit-with-emacs/lj...
What a cool idea.

Well, that's just rude. Atom is a customizable, programmable, featureful text editor. You can certainly believe that Vim is better, but you shouldn't think that on the spectrum from browser textarea to Vim, Atom is close the textarea side.
