Atom vs Brackets vs LightTable vs Zed

Today we will review about some text editor that seems to be gaining popularity lately, that are Atom (Github), Brackets (Adobe), LightTable and Zed. To install them on ArchLinux, just type:

yaourt --needed --noconfirm -S --force brackets-bin atom-editor-bin lighttable zed slap

First one is Atom 1.0.2-1, it uses 131MB of RAM at the first run, the Javascript autocomplete seems not working.

The second one is Brackets 1.3-1, it uses 75MB of RAM at the first run, the Javascript autocomplete works fine.

The third one is LightTable 0.7.2-1, it uses 70MB of RAM at the first run, the Javascript autocomplete not as good as Bracket's..

The fourth one is Zed 1.1.0-1, it uses 54MB of RAM at the first run, there are no built-in Javascript autocomplete.

Bonus: Slap is terminal-based text-editor that aims to be similar to SublimeText. It uses 101MB of RAM at the first run, and the key shortcut (PgUp, PgDn, Up, Down) seems not working well. LimeText (currently broken: lime-git) also tried to be SublimeText clone.

The winner for now would be Brackets..

Wide: Web-based IDE for Go

Wide is one new web-based IDE, it has a lot of potential, for now, it has autocomplete and one that have working "go to definition".

To install Wide, type:

go get -u -v github.com/88250/ide_stub
go get -u -v github.com/nsf/gocode
go get -u -v github.com/b3log/wide

To start the program, type:

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/b3log/wide/
wide

Then visit using your browser on http://your_ip_address:7070

There are some other web-based IDE such as GoDev (lags when showing godoc), LimeText, Carpo, Atom (aur/atom-editor-bin), Brackets.io, and Conception-go (this one not a web-based :3 it's OpenGL)

Btw, I make a list on GoogleDocs to list all Go IDEs, you can contribute/edit it if you want..
