Atom already uses Oniguruma where it needs decent RegExp support. So it’s REALLY strange that it’s still using Javascript’s built in extremely lacking RegExp engine for Find/Replace. A feature where human beings constantly enter new RegExp expressions to find pieces of code. Surely we should have a decent RegExp engine for this purpose.
This is driving me crazy. I love Atom. But the JS RegExp engine is so poor.
If you’d like better RegExp support for find/replace, please +1 the issue on Github above.
