GitHub has officially archived the Atom project’s codebase into read-only mode. Once a high-profile text editor, Atom released version 1.0 in May 2015, attracting millions of developers. Microsoft launched its own text editor, VS Code, in 2015. After acquiring GitHub in 2018, Atom became a Microsoft project. In the past few years, the number of users of VS Code has been increasing, while the number of users of Atom has been decreasing. Atom is dead, but its Electron framework continues to be widely used by thousands of apps. Project founder Max Brunsfeld launched the spiritual sequel to Atom – Zed developed in the Rust language.
