Why Atom for web development?

Atom is a text editor that's modern, approachable, yet hackable to the core, that means that you can customize to do anything but also use productively without ever touching a config file. Download, install and start using it !

Atom has a built-in package manager, search for and install new packages or start creating your own all from within Atom. Atom comes pre-installed with four UI and eight syntax themes in both dark and light colors. If you can't find what you're looking for, you can also install themes created by the Atom community or create your own.

• Atom works across operating systems. You can use it on OS X, Windows, or Linux.
• Find, preview, and replace text as you type in a file or across all your projects.
• Easily browse and open a single file, a whole project, or multiple projects in one window.

Atom is a desktop application built with HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and Node.js integration. It runs on Electron, a framework for building cross platform apps using web technologies.

I prefer Atom mostly because i'm using it for last 1 year and i became fan of it.
