Echoing others, I&#x27;ve been using emacs for close to 10 years now.  I&#x27;ve been keeping a close eye on Atom because it&#x27;s the firs time I&#x27;ve seen a editor start to gain popular appeal that can approach the customizability and power of Emacs.<p>The other thing holding it back is performance.  It might be something that Atom can never be &quot;good enough&quot; at, but I have hopes, if only with increases in compute speed.
