From experience using atom to develop some perl integration scripts for ecommerce I found the variable completion and knowledge of perl very good.

The trouble is these enterprise dev tools assume you have bleeding edge hardware.

Back when I developed in Oracle we had to have special pc builds and then spend over £2000 on memory and more again to buy a 20inch monitor just to get it to work!- and it still crashed every 15 minutes

However quake came out at the same time and the 20 inchers where amazing to play networked games on.

Point being, if your computer isn’t doing the work then the human is, which has the most expensive compute cycles.
I also had to use JDeveloper.
