Subject: [Netconf] just another netconf tool

We've published a NETCONF plugin for the ATOM editor (both Open-Source, MIT licensed):
https://atom.io/packages/atom-netconf

Solution is cross-platform, so it runs on Windows, MacOS X and Linux.
Performance might be better, but due to ATOM architecture everything is in JavaScript/CoffeeScript (including ssh2 library used).

So anyone, who is interested in a light-weight, easy-to-install, cross-platform graphical NETCONF client might give it a try.

Feedback and recommendations for improvements are welcome!

Thx
Sven

PS:
Latest ssh2 library release(v0.5.4) has connectivity issues with Cisco ASR9k routers. Issue seems to be on the Cisco side not answering keep-alive messages. Anyhow, ssh2 has committed a change to improve compatibility with Cisco routers. If testing Cisco routers, you might need to wait until v0.5.5 is released or apply the changes manually.
