The author compares several code editors for work involving Python, Perl, Ruby, and related frameworks. After trying Brackets, they switch to Atom because it better fits their needs and list plugins and themes they use.

## Source excerpt

I've been using different code editors for different purposes. Gedit was fine for small scripts but not for bigger projects. It lacks intelligent code completion (function/class names, etc.). I was searching for convenient editor for Python, Perl, Ruby with support for frameworks like Django, Rails, etc. I know Sublime Text - but it's paid external link . There is LimeText external link - open source clone, but it's not ready to be used on daily basics.
