I switched to Atom a few months ago, and I agree with all your points, but I think you&#x27;re being a bit generous calling Atom &quot;a small bit slower&quot;. On my machine (2013 MacBook Air) Sublime opens instantaneously, while Atom takes 2-3 seconds. Opening files is also noticeably slower, though not by as much. Memory usage is also far higher, in the hundreds of MBs vs tens.
