I've got to give Atom a lot of credit for laying the groundwork for VS Code, but I can't imagine ever going back to use it. I doubt this project will ever get the performance to an acceptable level, since it seems like that was never an architectural goal for Atom. VS Code proved that it was absolutely possible to have a performant editor written with web technologies, you just need to prioritize it from the start. That's true for any application, of course, but not something web developers are accustomed to (especially not a decade ago).

It made me a bit nostalgic trying it out again, though. I used Atom for about a year before switching to VS Code, and I remember the vibrant community around it. It definitely fulfilled it's goal of being hackable, since there were extensions that completely extended the UI in some pretty neat/silly ways.

Huh, I thought at least part of the Atom team went on to work on Zed

Tried to install it on asahi-linux fedora. Got a segfault:

```

/usr/bin/pulsar: line 151: 480856 Segmentation fault nohup "$PULSAR_PATH" --executed-from="$(pwd)" --pid=$$ "$@" --no-sandbox > "$ATOM_HOME/nohup.out" 2>&1

```

Looks like it's a fork of Atom?

I would love a fast, flexible, open source, elegant text editor, but this is a 300 MB download.
