Github annouced codespace. does it mean Atom is now abandoned?

The only part of Atom that’s seen any significant work on features in the last couple of years is the git/github extension. AFAICT most (if not all) of Atom’s core devs have moved on to other projects. As the commit graph shows, this isn’t really a new development.

Now, as for what this means for Juno: We’ll definitely keep supporting the current Atom-based plugins for the foreseeable future, but a switch to VSCode is becoming more and more likely.
