Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I've been using Atom to code custom websites for my organization, and previously for a small web design company. While I am the sole user in my organization, I use Atom to code in PHP (for custom Wordpress sites), HTML, some javascript, and even SASS for CSS. The ability to manage an entire project in one environment is key to a good workflow.

Pros

Color Coding for ease of organization.
Excellent customization - visually and functionally.

Cons

Integrated SASS compilers (or similar) would be a great asset.
The ability to create "draft" or backups of files would be a nice feature.

Likelihood to Recommend

Atom does a great job of allowing you to work in multiple coding languages (in my case, HTML, PHP, Javascript, and CSS/SASS) with no confusion. The color-coding, organization, and ability to customize your workspace is extremely helpful as well. The addition of packages, for FTP upload, for example, makes for a quick and easy workflow.
