@amxmln@mastodon.design I think Atom was killed, because Microsoft bought GitHub which resulted in Microsoft owning 2 Electron based code editors.

@duco@norden.social Yeah, but I’m sure Microsoft didn’t mind killing off their strongest competitor. 😉😅 So what’s to keep one of the VS Code forks or even Microsoft themselves from doing the same again? I could imagine something like Cursor wanting to ditch Electron and rather have the native speed of Rust. 🤷 But let’s not be too pessimistic. 😅
