I'm sorry, but Atom is a joke. 200MB, 15 minutes to "build" and install and it choked on my teensy tiny personal side project.

I can't imagine what a dog it is once you load it down with an additional (half-a) dozen plugins.

I'm so excited for this: an IDE with first-class support for Hack? Yes please! My only reservation is the last time I used Atom, it was pretty slow, what's it like nowadays?

I use it every day. Mostly good, but clearly slower than ST3. My main gripe is that it is painfully slow at editing with multiple cursors. Multi-cursor edits that ST3 wouldn't hiccup at freeze up atom long enough that OSX asks if I want to kill it.

Where's the download?

Seems like you have to join their Facebook Group ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/nuclide/ ) for early access.

Not too many joined to that yet .... Since "join for updates" ... not "join for access" ... Led me to avoid joining personally but meh.

I hope one of Facebook contributions will be a React native implementation of Atom.

React + Atom have unfortunately similar logos.

The Atom logo looks like React got Java pregnant.

I find this a bit ironic that Nuclide is an IDE designed to support React and React-Native, built on top of Atom - Atom itself just ripped out their React implementation in favor of direct DOM manipulation. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge React proponent and likely will give this a whirl - but it is ironic, no?

call it cross-pollination.

Use the right tool for the right job. By your logic, you should never write an assembler in anything but assembly language.

I don't think it is quite like that. Assembler was needed to bootstrap the effort.

I don't understand the marketing here. What distinguishes a unified IDE from an IDE?

Synergy.

Not released yet; will be out later this year.

We will all be coding in Rust on Rails by then.
