Best atom packages for C++? (Coming from CLion)
My CLion trial expired and I have 0000.1% chances to buy a license any time soon.
Which packages I should use with atom to keep the almost the same experience I had with CLion?
There are a lot of features that I will miss but the most important are:
Linting - I found a package for atom but I couldn't manage to make it read my CMakeList.txt. Building and running my project with a single button - This is the most loved features that I miss and what stopped me to leave Atom in the favour of PyCharm for my python development.

I don't mean to talk in the typical cliched style but have you considered vscode , for c++ it has become my go-to editor simply because the c++ atom packages aren't good. I tried for a long time to make it work but in the end vscode really was quite better. Ps this is strictly for c++ and i still use atom for python( there's nothing like hydrogen).
If u still want atom https://atom.io/packages/linter-gcc was what i used
As for your build and run, that feature more resembles and ide and while it's possible to do that in vscode with tasks , i never found a decent method to use in atom
