Atom vs Firepad: What are the differences?
What is Atom? A hackable text editor for the 21st Century. At GitHub, we're building the text editor we've always wanted. A tool you can customize to do anything, but also use productively on the first day without ever touching a config file. Atom is modern, approachable, and hackable to the core. We can't wait to see what you build with it.
What is Firepad? An open-source, real-time, collaborative code and text editing library built on Firebase. An open source collaborative code and text editor. Share documents and see changes occur in real-time.
Atom can be classified as a tool in the "Text Editor" category, while Firepad is grouped under "Collaborative Text Editor".
Atom and Firepad are both open source tools. It seems that Atom with 49K GitHub stars and 12K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Firepad with 3.19K GitHub stars and 738 GitHub forks.
Since communication with Github is not necessary, the Atom is less convenient in working with text and code. Sublim's support and understanding of projects is best for us. Notepad for us is a completely outdated solution with an unacceptable interface. We use a good theme for Sublim ayu-dark
