Atom did bring about tree-sitter at least.
From zed.dev/blog/we-have-to-start-over
We got to a certain point with Atom. It was 2017 when we’d shipped Teletype and it felt like, okay, it’s no longer our own ignorance holding us back, it really is like the platform holding us back at this point.
…
the ironic thing is that we created Electron to create Atom, but I can’t imagine a worse application for Electron than a code editor, I don’t know.

That can only run on mac. Hard pass.

It’s open source though and they plan on adding Linux/Windows support in the future

It looks like it’ll be really nice when it comes out for the other platforms though, and they do plan on doing that eventually.
It’s probably a good thing to get it right on one platform first before getting into the other ones. If they release it buggy on Linux it’ll leave a bad taste.

They’re working on Linux. It’s not ready yet but it is coming. Windows will be next.
