I've been using Brackets on both my Macbook and my Windows box. How does Atom and VS Code compare? Worth switching?

Haven't used Brackets, so can't say.

Is there any way to have Atom launch Powershell in an external window?
I've found several that will use the built-in "terminal" but that simply does not work for what I need.

No idea. Why do you want to do that? What's the use case?

I didn't think Brackets did anything except for HTML/CSS/JS. Atom and VS Code do many other languages.

Because I can't use it to debug the script properly. I have a script that requires interaction (it shows a menu, waits on the user to make choices, etc).... The Atom powershell interpreter does not actually stop to read input from the user.
Edit: I did find a package that works though... it's called run-in-terminal.

Brackets does really well with HTML, CSS, JS, and markdown, in my experience.

But I can do all of that stuff without this tool, that's where I'm confused.

Good to know! Just started using Brackets a little bit ago for writing bash scripts. I'll give Atom a go.

I can too. I'm just lazy. I like being able to hit a button F5, for instance, and have my script run in a new window, without me needing to keep another Powershell window open all the time to just run the script.

I like to just keep a window open and "up arrow" and hit enter to run something.

Then I have to remember to save the file before alt tabbing over to the other window, often lost in a sea of other windows, lol...
Remember to hit CTRL+S, and then ALT TAB and find the right window... or hit F5 and have it done for me...
Edit: This is Windows, using Dexpot for the Expose type feature.

Atom is very nice. I have my GIT integrated into it to make things that much simpler.

Nice. That's become a standard feature or plugin for all these text editors as of late, lol.

So I've been using Atom for the past few days. I really like it compared to Brackets. Is VS Code worth looking at for those of you who already use Atom?
Also, can someone tag the OP?

I tested Code and went back to Atom.

Any particular reason?

Lighter, does what I want without lots of extra stuff.
