The React Team has held a 2-days conference few days ago, on the January 28 & 29, to share the current state of art of their library. Here is its schedule http://conf.reactjs.com/schedule.html
I barely heard about React name before that. Then I looked at all the conference videos, because the more I watched, the more I was getting interested in. And it’s just amazing.
React is not a yet another Javascript framework, definitely not.
When using an azerty keyboard on Windows as I do, you can run into one issue that is very annoying when you code: not being able to type ] using Alt-GR + ).
It won’t do a thing. And then you are going to throw Atom away. But don’t ! Everything has an explication, let’s just wait for the Atom team to fix some stuff.
Maybe you will notice what is happening when you hit ] according to where your cursor is. That’s because by default, there are predefined shortcuts on this key. To see that, go to Settings > Keybindings.
The shortcut mentioned is : Ctrl + Alt + [, to fold-current-row, but you are not doing that, you are doing Alt-GR + ] right ? Two things that needs explanations :

my github
Alt-GR = Ctrl+Alt
], the keyboard mapping truly says that you typed [. Disturbing. You can see that in action by enabling Settings > Key Binding Resolver > Toggle, then type Alt-GR + ], it will resolve as Ctrl-Alt-[.Wanna read more about Alt-GR ? There is a big topic talking about that problem since more than 6 months : https://github.com/atom/atom-keymap/issues/35

So I’m used to work on Visual Studio 2013, big projects, lots of files, using TFS as a source controller, need to merge files, drag & drop in the files treeview some new images from a designer, need to rename some variables or methods used in many places, it just works flawlessly and the interface is quite responsive (except when some background stuff occurs and you’re good to force close it and restart, that’s faster).
But, wanted to make some new light websites, I asked myself : Should I use Visual Studio to make them ?
It was not feeling right. Visual Studio to handles 2/3 pages and some images/scripts ? I know it could but I’m think I’m too used to use it in a .NET environment so I decided to look around.
I often use Notepad++ to edit any files quickly, but it was not enough, basically, I feel it’s just a syntax highlighter editor, and a mass replacer (with regex), not more. I’ve never used any other functions. Do you ?
