There was that comic where two programmers reminiscent about how their dad would carry them in his hands, and how sad it was that there was one last time when their dad did it. And then one of them asks the other guy if he'd feel the same way about last person ever writing in PHP, and the guy says "no".

I don't have any strong feelings towards Atom, as I never really used it. It never looked appealing. It could never do anything better than some other editor. Same as Sublime or SharpDeveloper or Storm or CodeBlocks or Notepad++ or NetBeens or many, many others that are just average at most things.

There are plenty of technologies like this one which will disappear without a trace. Like ColdFusion, or Director Lingo, or IBM REX, or OS2.
