I use Atom for static Markdown blogging only. The reason is I customized Atom for this specific task and nothing more. Atom is mostly an advanced text editor than an IDE. I have Hunspell in both English and french, it detect word similarity and provide auto completion for this, it has some typewriter extension, etc.

I'm reluctant to use VSCode because of M$ pushing for its tooling, but it looks like I will have no choice on the long run.

Is there anyone in the same boat? Which highly configurable text editor can be use for this?



I'm in the same boat and look for a configurable text editor. I have Sublime, but haven't used it much, until now.
