Writing colon instead of semicolon or comma instead of dot, and they are f### hard to see sometimes and the buttons are so close to each other. And a lot of other things, but luckily you learn to read errors and identify these very fast so it's not a big problem.

I think I can help you regarding such silly mistakes. I recommend using the font Fantasque Sans Mono. Had the same issue when coming from Ruby&CoffeeScript to ES6. Then found this font which even cares to allow you to distinguish the difference between ''" or Il1 or .,;: or 0Oo or nnm or vvw. Yes, a good editor with good linting could catch such errors too but before atom.io and ESlint it wasn't that easy as it is today.

Thanks I will give it a try. Also Atom editor seems nice, it's fast as Sublime but less "nerdy" and more modern, or how can I explain it. I don't want to learn a lot of keyboard commands, I just want to focus on my work, that's where Sublime failed me.
