Atom has a plugin to have a command line tool in your Atom text editor, but that's just a plugin. Let me know if I'm missing something, but otherwise get your node project started, and than just start coding your files in Atom

You could add this package: https://atom.io/packages/atom-terminal-panel and it would look similar to workspaces, but don't get confused. The text editor and the console are two separate applications. They're just brought together as one in workspaces.
