Answer 1

Being used to webstorm live console I like terminal-plus a lot

Answer 2

I recomend you use "platformio-ide-terminal"

Answer 4

Boy, do things change. As of May 2018, terminal-panel, atom-terminal-panel and terminal-plus haven't been updated in years and aren't compatible with the new versions of Atom.

At the moment, platformio-ide-terminal also doesn't support the latest stable version of Atom (1.26) - it's only been maintained up to Atom 1.25. platformio-ide-terminal is also the terminal for platformio-ide, an IoT IDE. I don't recommend it for non-IoT applications.

So there doesn't seem to be a good terminal application for Atom's non-IoT use cases right now, unless you want to use an old version of Atom.

Answer 5

Yes it is possible. Don't know how they did, but there is a package "paltformio-ide". Installing it would add the windows powershell in atom, like this one:

It seems to be pretty smoothly integrated, even properly using all your normal environment options.
