If this means that PR comments can now be displayed in-line from the editor, I am switching from Sublime Text. I bought ST3 outright, but I'll switch in a heartbeat to display comments and feedback.

Try vscode, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised that it's in fact now leaps and bounds ahead of sublime.

Does vscode run on Linux?

Load time of what? opening a file? It is instantaneous other than really large files.

Yes once the program is already open it's pretty snappy. But I like to keep my desktop clean so I close / open it fairly often and it's startup time if just not on par I've found.

RAM you're not using is a waste of money ;)

Hopefully this eventually reaches the level of utility of Magit ( https://magit.vc ). It's what helped me get over the hump of only using 4 or 5 git commands, and bundles a ton of useful "macros" in a great interface. And of course, it's incredibly customizable because Emacs.

Magit is awesome. It's the one tool that got me using git at all.

I can't get into Atom, the load time vs something like sublime is just too slow. Am I doing something wrong in the settings?

I suffered through the slowness from the start, and it paid off. This is the first beta I've used in a very long time, and the difference between this and the current release version (1.6.x?) is noticeable.

Performance has been a key focus of the last few releases. 1.17, the stable release also being released today, has a major jump: http://blog.atom.io/2017/04/18/improving-startup-time.html

Has memory usage also been a focus? I got scared off from exploring Atom a month ago by https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14141855

I think that guy's just exaggerating, or using a buggy plugin. I'm running Atom 1.16 in Windows right now, 2 panes with ~6 tabs open and it's sitting at around 25 MB of memory. This is with vim-mode and a python autocomplete plugin running.

Just today the author of the "merge-conflicts" package for Atom emphasized that his plugin is depcrecated because Atom 1.8 will have that feature included by default. https://github.com/smashwilson/merge-conflicts/commit/f61950... https://github.com/smashwilson/merge-conflicts/blob/master/d...

Yeah, he's now a developer on Atom and worked on the GitHub package...

The snapshot feature introduced recently makes a big difference to app start-up time.
