Probably not the best IDE's out there. You can use VSCode out there which has many extensions and other features too. Also this is not lightweight. You can say like it has some extra features than Notepad like autocomplete and a decent UI.

10836 new folders, 38320 new files I am not an expert in computer forensics or Windows. I tested the program on Windows 8.1. For every program I install, I use REVO installer which tracks all changes made to the registry and all file operations. I have installed hundreds of programs that way. I usually open the installation logs and check out the changes. For ATOM, I actually could find no other way to locate the program. It did not show up on my desktop, program files (32 and 64 bit) or app list/start menu. The download was ~50mb but once unpacked it took up around 800mb total space on my HD 10836 folders (Majority hidden), 38320 new files. That is personal record. The majority of the 38,320 files it created during install were in hidden locations, It even seemed that the program itself was located within app data or program data (can't remember which one) Looking over the changes, many of the files created had suspicious names, even including words like "virus" and "malware". It made a high number of attempted permanent changes to my web browsers too. Many also had concerning names. If the developer(s) happen to read this, I would like to ask if they can please release a portable version of the program. There might be another explanation for the anomalies. The program had a number of remarkable features and was excellent at detecting encoding schemes for the .img files I viewed. If the programmers would like to reply with updates, about a portable version or to explain/ tell me about errors in my findings, I will be sure to rewrite this review promptly after re-testing the program. I would also be happy to suggest minor tweaks to the UI via PM. It seemed like an amazing program but I would need a portable version or one which did not affect my system so heavily to become a regular user.
