#2Why are so many companies hacking on atom recently? First it was MS, and now FB? Anything special about Atom that you don't get in something like Vim or Emacs? They're both open source, and very hackable.

its basically an open source sublime and a lot of people like sublimes UI and plugins.

I remember Eclipse being forked a lot by various enterprise companies. I guess that's because it had very good extensible architecture. Many developers admitted it. May be Atom is in similar position? Today's fashion shifted from Java to JavaScript and tools are following.

It's much easier to provide a cross-platform rich UI experience with Electron/Atom. It's probably also easier to leverage existing developer skill sets (HTML, JS, CSS, etc.)

Not quite an equal comparison: Visual Studio Code uses only the very core of Atom which allows you to package a browser-based app in a native shell (sort of like Cordova/PhoneGap). Nuclide actually uses the entire Atom editor.

It's okay hopefully all this gets merged into atom when these projects don't get the userbase they are looking for.

Yes, a native-feeling GUI. Emacs GUI for OSX is ugly and unpolished. Atom's real competition is Sublime, but unlike Sublime it's open source.

I agree; with vim as well, gVim isn't much help to those who still want to use a mouse / don't know the keybindings. Atom is really the most versatile open-source GUI text editor right now IMO.
