Thanks for clarifying that. I must be thinking off another editor that used Electron as its base, and only the Electron portion stuck with me.

I went through and deleted all of my unused editors a few months ago, so I wasn't able to go back and make a complete/accurate list of the ones I've tried in the past.

Nuclide, maybe? There are a bunch of Electron-hosted text editors and for awhile it seemed like atomic-theory-based naming conventions were going to take over.

Nuclide is just a giant “Let’s reinvent everything” add on from FB add on Atom. Frankly, it has a bunch of very weird and hard to configure functionality that’s already provided (or can be provided) as separate plugins for Atom. It’s really awkward and painful, reaks of FB.

All that said, the remote code editing has the best editing UX, but at the same time, super sucks because it requires a special nodejs server to run on your remote system, and that requires yet another watchman daemon, and all this needs to stay version compatible with your Nuclide plugin.

I don’t recommend it, unless you currently work at Facebook. Otherwise, just use Atom.
