Thoughts on Pulsar code editor?
Hi guys, I am trying to get a new code editor for my projects. Browsing around I found that atom (which is one that i've always wanted to use) is still "alive" thanks to Pulsar project. What do you all think?
I tried ita little bit, I found it a little difficult to configure and although it's backwards compatible with Atom's plugins the duality between Pulsar native/Atom plugins is somehow perceived. Didn't manage to even find a good markdown pack and it felt too "awkward" and cumbersome, I switched back to VS code for scripting/markup after a couple of days (of non intense usage because I work with IntelliJ most of the time for coding).
I had a similar experience recently - picked up Pulsar because I was getting uncomfortable with VSCode’s telemetry. Found it a bit tricky to config, and then had trouble with atom packages that obviously haven’t been updated for a few years now that are a bit out of date. Switched to vscodium instead!
i used Atom for years until they suddenly stopped development. Pulsar is a fork of that project.
i use it for low-level code editing like bash scripts, js, and markdown document editing. some json and html.
I like it. I also come from Atom, and I found it pretty easy to set up for my perhaps simple needs. What I really, really wanted was to continue using the Hydrogen package, and that succeeded.
