Atom + Fortran

dock2

This newfangled Atom hipster text editor is really a nice editor for Fortran when you install these two plugins:

There are tons of other packages too. For example, indent-helper is a must, because every sane person knows that ='s and ::'s should always be aligned.

For many years, I've used TextWrangler by Bare Bones Software (which is the free version of their more powerful BBEdit). Just having the Fortran linter (see below) is enough to make me switch. I suppose with the right combination of plugins, I could use it as a full-fledged IDE, but I haven't really tried to do that yet.

Maybe one day @szaghi will write a FoBiS plugin for Atom. Unfortunately, I think he's totally committed to vi.
