Abstract	This paper discusses the merits of providing users variational views when editing variational code. I provide a plugin for the popular Atom Integrated Development Environment (IDE) which replaces #ifdef annotations commonly used by the C PreProcessor (CPP) with colored backgrounds, thus reducing code clutter and attempting to help programmers quickly distinguish code that belongs to different features. I also provide a number of helpful features designed to help the programmer create, remove, and refactor feature code. Finally, I present a user study conducted in order to determine how helpful each of the two main features (code folding and background color) are to programmers - it was determined that while there were no significant differences in efficiency or accuracy, the user experience was considerably enhanced. Key Words: variation, ifdef, editing, hci, software product lines
