I totally agree with you. I switched to atom 4 weeks ago and have used it full time since. I love it, it works great.<p>The community, plugins available and ease of making plugins is phenomenal. Add to that its open source.<p>In my opinion as a sublime license holder who have used it for years, atom has defintely over taken it without doubt.<p>And yes, sublime is the new textmate :-)<p>One thing for sure is, with Atom around, if you do not already have a sublime license it certainly is not worth paying $70 for it today.<p>If u insist on paying for an editor or IDE at least go for a Jetbrains IDE.
