If I can't make Atom work for me, I will drop it just as fast as I
dropped Emacs. Spacemacs was suggested to me off-list; if it addresses
my complaints about Emacs, I might give it a chance. But Atom is the
topic of this thread, so lest this thread descend into a text editor
flame war, I suggest we stop talking about Emacs (or Vim, or Eclipse,
or anything else).
Just that I am supposed to be (at least out here!!) an emacs and haskell expert and while showing others how to get started I am often finding my own setups embarrassingly broken
