That's my bad, I should expect stupid responses when I make a stupid statement. Major platform where, you know, it makes sense to have. You'd "love" to have Atom on your realtime OS? For what, exactly?
I'd bet he'd want to edit text; but I'm no fortune teller.

I'd love to use Atom on a little QNX system, can you tell me where I can find the Atom distribution? It's possible to build Emacs on it.

Actually though pre-6.6 QNX had a great GUI and is capable of running on desktops and laptops just fine¹. I rather like it.
¹ Hardware support is not great but way better than you might be expecting. Either way, it runs fine in VMWare and VirtualBox. I'm currently trying to acquire some parts to build a PowerPC laptop for QNX.

I got it from here: http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/windows/ It works flawlessly. I just dropped it (26.1) in on top of my existing setup and had to do nothing else and I'm working away on it right now. When I was downloading at least, I had to download it and the dependencies separately. The README says there should be a unified zip-file but it wasn't there at the time. Had some issues with Windows 10 refusin…
Flyspell in Emacs 26.1 seems to require a version of Aspell that is not officially available for Windows. I might need to put off the upgrade until I can attempt to compile a newer Aspell for Windows myself. "Error enabling Flyspell mode: (aspell release 0.60 or greater is required)"

It's not stable enough for me. Well, my plugins aren't. I need to be able to reset state periodically. Plus, I like to have separate instances of emacs with different groups of files from separate but related projects. I end up with a zoo of buffers commingled in daemon mode. It just doesn't fit how I work. I wish it had an image based startup scheme... freeze an image of emacs after init is done.
What if I tell you that you can? :) You can unexec Emacs at its current working state and it will output a new executable. Startup is close to instant!
