So the first thing I did was run `apm develop atomatigit`.\r\n\r\nI tweaked the main file to alert when loaded, started Atom in dev mode, and got the alert.\r\n\r\nI then made one tweak to the package.json file and now Atom won't load in dev mode. The only way I can get it to load again is if I undo the changes that I made to that file and end all of the atom.exe processes.\r\n\r\nAlso as a note, editing a package.json file while not in dev mode produces the same result of the application not starting at all. Therefore, I have 2 suggestions to make Atom better.\r\n\r\n1. If a package.json has been tampered with, instead of not loading the entire program, just don't load that one package.\r\n2. If in developer mode, skip the package.json tampering check."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/atom/atom/issues/comments/69135277","html_url":"https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/4883#issuecomment-69135277","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/atom/atom/issues/4883","id":69135277,"user":{"login":"lee-dohm","id":1038121,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1038121?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/lee-dohm","html_url":"https://github.com/lee-dohm","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lee-dohm/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lee-dohm/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lee-dohm/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lee-dohm/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lee-dohm/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lee-dohm/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lee-dohm/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lee-dohm/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lee-dohm/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-01-08T04:43:02Z","updated_at":"2015-01-08T04:43:02Z","body":"What did you do to the `package.json`?
