## What it is
An Atom editor package that adds file-specific icons to core packages like tree-view, tabs, and fuzzy-finder for improved visual grepping. Icons are customizable via CSS classes and support multiple icon fonts including FontAwesome, Devicons, and MFizz.

## Use cases
- show file type icons in the atom file tree
- make it easier to spot files visually in tabs
- customize icon colors and sizes in atom
- assign icons by file extension in atom
- add icons to directories in the tree view

## When to choose
- you use the Atom editor and want file-type icons in the sidebar and tabs
- you want CSS-based control over icon appearance and assignment

## When to avoid
- you use VS Code, Sublime, or another editor instead of Atom
- you need an actively developed editor ecosystem, since Atom has been sunset
