Earlier quoted context omitted.

To put "often" in context, I raised a Github issue on it today which was resolved within a few hours, it's improving incredibly quickly (and it's already awesome).

Exactly. It's still very new, but it's really worth a shot if you need the cloud-ide solution. We use to for Go and Docker. Currently, it's very nice. Even has auto-complete - though it has a long way to go.

I thought CodeBox was using the ACE editor as part of their system like Cloud9. And I believe Orion and Codenvy (my company) use CodeMirror. Looking forward to trying out Atom. I can see many advantages already of it as an editor.

Looking good and this only helps confirm that web IDE's are going to be the big thing in the next couple of years. I've been predicting/preaching about this for 2+ years now and been building my own browser code editor in that time ( http://icecoder.net ). So, CodeAnywhere gets $600k in funding, Adobe is releasing Brackets to the browser soon, GitHub is launching Atom as a web based offering. Need much more reason to…

Do any of these support an offline mode?

Am I the only one who finds it hard to believe this has indeed been leaked and is not just a marketing strategy from Github? The repos are not even private.

Leak is the wrong term, and it’s doubtfully a deliberate marketing move either. More like, “suddenly being noticed because a bunch of GitHubbers followed the @AtomEditor account on Twitter”. Also, despite the plethora of repositories, the actual editor is not available. It could be many of the public repos are public so they can be installed using their Atom Package Manager, which would likely have to jump through ho…

That's correct, I'm the one who first found the project and I wouldn't call it a "leak". The site is live (domain registered by GH), the twitter account is live, the repo is full, the release is probably imminent.

I love the edit markers in the last screenshot. But too skeptical about the performance of a text editor running in webkit. All of my experiences writing text online have been bad. So the jump into using webkit for an entire dev environment fills me with dread.

I like my (GitGutter's) concept of displaying removed lines better. This screenshot makes me think line 11 was removed. But I am looking right at it!

Yep, GitGutter is great. Thanks for making it.

holy cow this thing has like 70 repositories! And I found a screenshot... looks very much like sublime text: https://f.cloud.github.com/assets/1424/1228569/cce6eb26-27a6... edit: based on this[1], it looks like this is a GitHub-aware/integrated text editor that targets both desktop (Mac, at least) and web [1] https://gist.github.com/elcuervo/eb68883f233baf5a46c8

> it looks like this is a GitHub-aware/integrated text editor that targets both desktop (Mac, at least) and web I can confirm, from looking at the code. It uses CSS / LESS for highlighting, and CoffeeScript for client-side programming (eg, the fuzzy completion[0], or the autocompletion). The surprising part is that the editor doesn't seem to be a fork of either Ace or CodeMirror, the two big guys in the field. The hi…

I hope they won't use this awkward "double-escaped backward-slashes in reglular expressions" environment. YAML[1] is much better for this.

Why do you say that?

Atom: http://i.imgur.com/0Qfwkp4.png SublimeText: http://i.imgur.com/frzYwwc.png Case in point.

The UI is undoubtedly similar, but Atom appears to be written in Coffeescript. Isn't Sublime written in C and Python?
