I will probably keep using it too.

1. I have such a nice python executable notebook setup with the hydrogen plugin.

I have a lot of personal automation for my 9-5 job here. Turning it into polished CLIs is too much effort and there's too many one-off cases, it's best just to have a kernel running.

I also do leetcode practicing here :)

2. I have another atom window always open for my personal knowledge base which is just a directory of well-named markdown files. I don't need your fancy better tooling. This is more than enough.

I tried to switch to vscode for the above but I don't like the notebook plugin and it kept crashing when opening up very very large markdown files (sometimes I copy paste logs wholesale). Also I often find it pegs a cpu at 99% and I just don't have the energy to debug my fucking text editor.

  >For the Atom community and team, you've made one of the greatest text editors out there. Nothing will ever beat it, not even vim which I also swear by...

The problem here is: what community?

PRs are still getting merged in a reasonably timely fashion, but there just aren't that many of them. I'm sure there are still people using Atom and liking it and that's a "community" of sorts, but there isn't really a "community of developers" actively working on it.
