Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Open-Source Washing
> VSCodium is not "designed" to be less functional, since it is a project maintained by developers who are unaffiliated with Microsoft.
In today's (OSS) world, employment or affiliation doesn't matter much. Microsoft can propose what they want and get what they want from the project, at the end of the day. I don't think these independent maintainers have power to say "No" (if a VSCodium developer can chime in here, I'd love to be stand corrected), or they risk VSCodium to be forked to VSCodiumX, by developers who are friendlier to the megacorp which loves Linux.
Yes, VSCodium is a node to Chromium. "-ium" has a ring akin to "-ish" in today's conjecture. Freemium - Free-ish but not. Chromium - Chrome-ish but not. VSCodium - VSCode-ish, but not. This might be curse in the naming, but it feels like that, at least for me.
The blog post I linked quotes a tweet which supports what I'm saying, heck even the blog post does a much better job of detailing what I was trying to say here in my previous comments.
To circle back, the problem with -ium projects are, they are effectively banned from participating in the main ecosystem which drives these projects forward, and to be in "The Ecosystem", you need to use the closed source versions with pervasive data collection and whatnot. Heck, even Google abuses Chromium with "Experiments and Proposals", which they use to politely yet forcefully push the web to the places they want. VSCodium is the same getaway drug and test vessel for Microsoft.
Lure with Open Source version, trap with closed source version for "Full Benefits" (for the company, because user is the product).
> You're entitled to your own opinion, but Atom was developed by GitHub...
Yes & yes.
> which was acquired by Microsoft.
Yes.
> It doesn't help that Atom was discontinued last year, with the final version having been released in March 2022
However, it's forked as Pulsar [0], which I meant by "current form" in my previous comment. Again, it's MIT licensed, and that's not my favorite, but at least it's not a company editor now.
Atom's original developers started to build Zed, which is worst of both worlds currently (Open source with a closed backend, plus "All your data belong to us" clause).
At the end of the day, from my perspective "-ium" projects and their sanitized versions are just open-core versions of the "main tools" developed from them.
Just because these versions somehow work, and have a permissive license doesn't make them open source in the meta sense. Pedantically they are open source software, yes, but they are just the "Open Core" or Demo/Shareware versions of the tools which companies use to strange to ecosystems.
This is just enshittification of open source in my eyes.
More power to you if you're happy with the -ium tools, but I'd rather use truly free software (Like Eclipse), or use completely honest closed source software (like BBEdit), instead of using tools designed to look like open source but not.

Libre-friendly IDEs?
In addition to the already mentioned Emacs, I would check Pulsar, the Atom successor.

Clarification question
Also, don't worry - we understand that there's documentation lacking on the "extend Pulsar" part and on package creation, but we're working on it. We're also working on better ways to test, document, and create packages (and grammars - see, for example, how we usually tested grammars in the past and how we're migrating to for example), so it's just a matter of time, really.

Zed, the new code editor from Atom developers, has entered open beta
I thought a lot of the Atom developers moved to create Pulsar Editor.
https://pulsar-edit.dev/
Also, the community forked Atom into a community edition (CE), still getting updates?

What makes this "Atom Developer Editor" different than Pulsar or Atom-CE.

Github message saying Atom editor sunset > suddenly Atom has stopped working
A couple community maintained Atom forks have emerged: Atom Community and Pulsar. Of the two, Pulsar seems to be more actively developed.

What is to go-to environment on Windows for Common LISP development?
Yes, I know Microsoft is archiving the Atom editor repo, but a public fork lives on. https://github.com/atom-community/atom/ atom-slime is probably still my favorite of the bunch. It actually uses Emacs SLIME. But I haven't looked at it in a couple years or longer.

Looks like the Atom community also started a fork of Atom a while back: https://github.com/atom-community/atom/

So... where y'all going?
If you haven't heard, MS is retiring Atom in December 2022. I assume most of us will try the Atom community fork. But as back-up, etc., what editors are folks thinking about / exploring?

Atom community fork seems growing, and let's have hope
After the announcement of Atom sunset, people started to continue it as a community fork. It seems it's growing and drawing attention: At July 10th (two days after the announcement), it had 86 stars, but now it has more than 230! It may be no comparable to the star count of Atom itself (around 58k), but it's rising.

Atom Sunset
But - the community is taking the job to reimplement the servers. We're not sure about teletype, but packages will be able to be installed - well, in a different Atom binary that the community will provide. For more info: https://github.com/atom-community/atom/discussions
