It has been migrating that way for a few months now. More and more headlines of the "You won't believe what happened next" variety. I keep hoping they're doing it ironically.

Today, we are happy to announce that Atom is now available on Windows. This is an alpha release that supports Windows 7 and Windows 8. In case you're looking for a new text editor

Always, but is it as sleek and powerful as the Ariel Atom?
Edit: I took a quick look at the page, but I can't tell whether or not it supports tabs (or similar) to have multiple files open in the same instance.
I don't need language support or code folding or split windows -- files should be small enough that those don't matter; they're the wrong solution to the problem.
If it supports multiple open files and is extensible, then maybe I could teach it to compile the open files -- that's what I want (and money).
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

Sleek? Maybe, definitely not as powerful. Those things scare me - there just doesn't seem like there's enough car there. I saw this beast[^] the other day: same idea, one less wheel. Give me a bike anyday.

Yep, multiple open files.
Uses Web technologies (HTML/CSS/JS) so should be possible to achieve what you desire. Looks promising.

Looks interesting. I particularly like the way extensibility is managed, using Web technologies to style text. The ability to open folders, with a tree view on the left and multi-tab editor on the right, with a browser-like dev panel at the bottom all seems natural to me.
Of course, I've only spent a few minutes looking so far, so don't consider that a review

The emergence of mobility, 24/7connectivity and globalized business has made the concept of a 'work-life balance' obsolete. Ironically, technology -- often seen as the culprit -- can also help restore a sense of balance. "Human beings were not meant to sit in little cubicles staring at computer screens all day, filling out useless forms and listening to eight different bosses drone on about mission statements!"

He is completely wrong. It's only a decision you have made...I for example decided that the family is more important and went to work 4 days a week only. The other 3 days for the family, and phones are forbidden...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Sometimes we are too quick to jump in and start cranking out code to solve the problem without considering all the implications of the issues we’re trying to solve. We don’t consider that someone else might have already solved this problem, with code available for our use that has already been written, tested, and debugged. "There is no new thing under the sun"

While I may agree with the idea, the article is worthless insofar as it fails to give any examples of existing libraries, either in C++ or C#. Saying "Google it" is an antipattern.

You are absolutely right. What's more this article omits a few quite more important "tasks" that many people are eager to implement themselves, for example caching and security.

The desktop computing OS for end users has failed to capture any attention lately, though. Al Gillen, the program vice president for servers and system software at IDC, says the Linux OS as a computing platform for end users is at least comatose – and probably dead.

Or, to steal Mark's answer[^] to another headline-as-question: "No. Yes. Maybe. It depends."
