Atom vs Remacs: What are the differences?

Developers describe Atom as "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. On the other hand, Remacs is detailed as "Rust ❤️ Emacs". A community-driven port of Emacs to Rust.

Atom and Remacs can be categorized as "Text Editor" tools.

Atom and Remacs are both open source tools. It seems that Atom with 49.2K GitHub stars and 12.1K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Remacs with 3.45K GitHub stars and 298 GitHub forks.
