I've been using atom for several years now to main a few sites. I have always found it a pleasure to work in, but then admittedly I am probably using a small percentage of the features that it offer.
What does it mean that the project (or any project) is archived? Does it mean that it no longer has maintainers? Should we stop using it because security will worsen due to lack of updates?
If I should stop using it - what should I try instead (apart from Vi / Emacs / VS Code, which are already well represented in the discussion)?
I know you've said not to discuss VS Code, but VS Code was pretty much an Atom clone at release, and it would still be a very easy switch. Many of us back then loved Atom and switched simply because VS Code was so similar but could also do a find-and-replace on a large project without crashing.
Mostly Debian at home - thanks for reminding me though - I do use Notepad++ at work. I believe it's available as a snap on Linux. I do enjoy the simplicity of N++.
