I worked last 2 weeks with new text editor, without Atom.
List of my difficulties with new text editor (My 5 reasons why Atom still is a better solution):

  1. Have no cmd+/ hotkey for a fast code commenting like in atom (one line and multiline). Issue: https://github.com/defold/editor2-issues/issues/1606

  2. I was making a lot of mistypes like “pint()” or something like this. Sometimes I forgot to create local variables or I made shadowing of variables by mistake.
    Atom helps to avoid this type of errors using linter-luacheck. issue: https://github.com/defold/editor2-issues/issues/356

  3. Editor has no autocomplite for constants. issue: https://github.com/defold/editor2-issues/issues/1431

  4. I can open any type of files as a text but can’t change them. Issue: https://github.com/defold/editor2-issues/issues/648

  5. I can’t tap or drag minimap for scrolling. Issue: https://github.com/defold/editor2-issues/issues/1502
