I think, in the long run -3 to 5 years-, Jon Skinner -Sublime Text- will be leading, like now. I can clearly see his passion and investment in his product.
People at GitHub are also great, well funded, but this is not their core product. Do they have a leader -I don't know if they have or not- who will be focusing only on this product and keep up with jskinner?
I am sure Atom will be around for long years, as well as Sublime Text. Thanks to GitHub, I am looking forward to give it a try.
actually I was expecting a comment on that one :) don't you think the time frame narrows on predicting the future on topics like these -web, desktop or mobile applications-?
I am not arguing that Sublime Text is the best -because I am not that pro-, but I can assure you it is hot right now, all around the world. It may be wrong, but all cs students and developers I personally know in 4-5 countries use it, like it. Most of the online courses tell their students to use it. It is highly recommended, all over the web.
It could be a matter of scratching your own itch: they're likely to write a lot of code and perhaps they were not satisfied with any of the existing one, and the instinctive solution for us devs it to make your dream software when none fit :)
I hope that this spurs Jon on to continue working on Sublime Text and start to be more transparent with what development is ongoing etc. See the forums for recent outcries.
