I’ve never quite gotten spellcheck to work usefully on Atom. It works just well enough for me not to try harder. Then I go back for edits.

I've got both pylint for my comments and a full blown one for markdown files. I can send you my setup if you're interested, I'm on Linux.

That would be cool - it real shouldn’t be this hard! My email is my last name @http://cshl.edu

If it's all the same to you, I'll post it up here in case others wanna also follow suit.

I'm on Linux Mint. I installed these Atom packages: linter, linter-ui-default, linter-pylama, spell-check. I also needed to install on my system (so using apt): hunspell, pylama, pyflakes, pylint. Finally, in the Atom settings for linter-pylama check the box for "Use PyLint".
-
The spell-check package does the .md files (you can change what files it spell-checks of course). And pylint within linter-pylama checks the spelling of your .py comments, as well as of course linting your code. I also use atom-beautify to help automate a lot of the linting.
-
I use many other packages but these are the basic ones for spelling and linting. Hope that helps!

How are you finding Atom? It's the only editor I've used, so always wonder if I'm missing out.
-
I like it but I also really like Kate.
-
I use Atom for everything these days though due to the integration with github repos.
