Pulsar, the best code editor (optimizedbyotto.com)

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. ๐Ÿš€

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.
