Atom vs UltraEdit: 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, UltraEdit is detailed as "A multi-purpose text editor for Microsoft Windows and Linux". It is a powerful, fast, and secure text editor whose helpful features make every day life easier for any user type and programming language. Windows, Mac, Linux.

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

Some of the features offered by Atom are:

Atom is a desktop application based on web technologies
Node.js integration
Modular Design- composed of over 50 open-source packages that integrate around a minimal core

On the other hand, UltraEdit provides the following key features:

Text editing
Find and replace
Programming / web development

Atom is an open source tool with 49.9K GitHub stars and 12.8K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Atom's open source repository on GitHub.

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 Notepad for us is a completely outdated solution with an unacceptable interface.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
