The only thing that bothers me about literally every text editor out there today besides Atom is that because plugins are almost necessary these days and none of them cloud sync, it's really hard for me to move off Atom. I want that speed of Sublime Text back. I really do. VSCode's slight differences compared to Atom make it hard for me to move over.

New system? `apm stars --install` done. I can't do that out of the box with VSCode. I can't do it out of the box with Sublime Text and Package Control. But I have to get off Atom, it's just a disgrace. I can't multiline find and replace all project-wide on it. Can you believe that? Incredible.

And no, I don't want to put my config in a gist or put it on Dropbox. It's 2021. Please, for the love of editors, put these configurations in places where iCloud and OneDrive can pick them up automatically or give us a cli to pull down packages from our accounts.

Am I missing something? Is there an editor out there that takes care of automatically syncing packages for me besides Atom? No, I don't want a package to sync my packages.

I can't go to vim or neovim. I don't have all day to get my plugins and configurations just right. I want to be productive, now.
