I just finished class 01 and downloaded atom, but it isnt working so I wondered if there were any other recommended editors

sublime text is also good and lightweight

VSCode (Visual Studio Code) has become the industry standard, it sits between simple text editors (like sublime text) and integrated development environments (IDEs) like intelliJ (paid).

#

There's also a newer competitor Zed from the creators of Atom - but it currently only works on MacOS and Linux.

VSCode is the biggest one that is free and it is a bit of a pain to setup for some things. IntelliJ is my choice but you have to pay for a license. I would start with VSCode.
