Congrats! Atom may not be perfect (no editor is), but it's constantly and consistently improving, which is a lot more than one can say about most other editors.

For those who use Jupyter: there's a package called Hydrogen that let's you run your code directly within Atom using Jupyter kernels (not just python!). To me, that's the perfect example of the power of a hackable editor.

Is there a way to get Jupyter-style layout as well? I'm intrigued by the idea of completely different style of writing code where, essentially, comments become first-class citizen and include markup (markdown rendered immediately when the cursor leaves the comment or even rich-text editing), diagrams, links etc.

I tried to implement it but Atom just wasn't there at the time. The new block-level decorators should make it possible.
