Pulsar, the best code editor
Pulsar, the best code editor
The key to being productive as a programmer is to have a great code editor. I have been an avid user of Atom since 2014, and its successor Pulsar since now in 2023.
Pulsar (former Atom) is still the best code editor in my opinion. It is easiest and fastest to use, has all the nice productivity boosting plugins and is overall great for all the same reasons the Atom was great. 🚀

That can only run on mac. Hard pass.
It's open source though and they plan on adding Linux/Windows support in the future
It looks like it'll be really nice when it comes out for the other platforms though, and they do plan on doing that eventually.
It's probably a good thing to get it right on one platform first before getting into the other ones. If they release it buggy on Linux it'll leave a bad taste.
It does look nice, but unfortunately I cannot use it. If it ever is released on Linux I might give it a try. But Vim is hard to beat after its setup to be IDE-like.
They're working on Linux compatibility. It's not ready yet but it's well along the way with about half the necessary tasks completed. Windows will be after that.
Atom did bring about tree-sitter at least.
From https://zed.dev/blog/we-have-to-start-over
We got to a certain point with Atom. It was 2017 when we'd shipped Teletype and it felt like, okay, it's no longer our own ignorance holding us back, it really is like the platform holding us back at this point.
...
the ironic thing is that we created Electron to create Atom, but I can't imagine a worse application for Electron than a code editor, I don't know.
