Now that Atom has been discontinued - where to next?

• lapce

  178 33,077 9.7 Rust

  Lightning-fast and Powerful Code Editor written in Rust

  

I would like to turn your attention you lapce. While in early stages it looks promising, fast and extensible.

• theia

  49 18,847 9.6 TypeScript

  Eclipse Theia is a cloud & desktop IDE framework implemented in TypeScript.

  

https://theia-ide.org/ maybe?

• InfluxDB

• Geany

  91 2,996 9.2 C

  A fast and lightweight IDE

  

I learned about a great alternative called Geany from a YouTube Channel called Distro Tube. And I think this checks all your boxes. Clicking on the links will take you to the Geany website, and the Geany walkthrough video. I hope this helps. I might not be as advanced as you when it comes to and IDE, but I'm going to use Geany as a replacement for Atom.

• notepadqq

  21 2,075 2.3 JavaScript

  A simple, general-purpose editor for Linux

  

Heard the Linux Fork of Notepad++ is a super well running editor with plugin support: https://github.com/notepadqq/notepadqq

• brackets

  67 1,276 4.7 JavaScript

  An open source code editor for the web, written in JavaScript, HTML and CSS. (by brackets-cont)

  

I'm surprised nobody mentioned brackets. Very similar to Atom

• lite-xl

  54 4,354 8.7 Lua

  A lightweight text editor written in Lua

  

VSCodium is perhaps the closest to Atom, but I also wanted to add that I've been enjoying Lite XL a lot. It's extremely light and faster than both, with decent plugin support, but certainly nowhere near that of VSCodium. But it's been quite refreshing to go back to a simpler, more minimalistic, faster experience.
