Resources: Atom (the editor) is being sunset #185

Description

@swfarnsworth

The Atom editor is being sunset in December.

My recommendation is that we simply delete it from the resources page. We already list Mu-Editor, PyCharm, Spyder, Sublime, Thonny, and VSC. I'm not sure which audience Atom is intended to appeal to, but I suspect part of the reason for them sunsetting Atom is that its audience might have shifted to one of the other editors that we feature.

Does anyone know what the value proposition of Atom is, as compared to the other editors? If there is one, I suppose we could change the description to mention that it's going to be sunset and see what happens (Senjan pointed out that it might be forked). Otherwise, I don't think this resource should be featured to reduce the frequency of option paralysis for our users.
