Atom is a new text editor based on [Chromium]. On June 25, 2015, GitHub released version 1.0, available for OS X, Windows and Linux (x86_64) at their site and on [GitHub].

Atom is a desktop application based on web technologies. Like other desktop apps, it has its own icon in the dock, native menus and dialogs, and full access to the file system. Node.js support makes it trivial to access the file system, spawn subprocesses, and even start servers directly from within your editor.

Atom is composed of over 50 open-source packages that integrate around a minimal core. Our goal is a deeply extensible system that blurs the distinction between "user" and "developer".
