It's a bit clunky and rough around the edges. I was first introduced to it on mac-but at the time BBEdit handled all my needs-things changed on Windows. Then, for creative writing, I settled on Scrivener, which has become very popular of late. With that said, I find all three completely adequate and all having roughly the same feature set. But, at least coming from BBEdit, I found some of it's functionality to be a little obtuse. Atom, on the other hand, is much cleaner. In contrast, one of the most popular Windows options, Notepad++, is a mess. I don't like it as much as BBEdit by any means, but it's certainly the most similar to BBEdit in that it sports a lean and elegant interface. That's right, they're just using html tags but can't really be used for any actual coding.Īnyway, for coding, I settled on Kate. Made more ironic by the fact that a good portion of 'creative' focused text editors tend to be 'markup' editors these days. Coding and creative text editing was going to have to be split. The "Glossary" palette was a tremendous pivot point for this, and after a (waaaay too) long search into the nook and crannies of windows software, I finally threw up my hands and realized a compromise was going to have to be reached. This was really, really, really difficult for me as I used BBEdit for BOTH coding and creative writing as it was malleable enough to accommodate both.
