I'm a long-time user of free/open source software, and write various things for both fun and profit. I don't take myself all that seriously and I do all of my own stunts.
You can find me at these fine establishments on the web: Open Source Musings, The Monday Kickoff, Weekly Musings. and The Plain Text Project.

It's whatever works for you, and I'm sure that Vim has things similar to these Atom packages.
The last time I tried that combo together was when I wrote the article, and they both worked. Then again, not everyone will use that combination of packages.
