&gt; how&#x27;s atom doing these days?<p>Fairly well, IMO. The editor itself has caught up with Sublime for at least everything I care about, the community is very active, and they release updates pretty regularly.<p>Unfortunately, although performance has gotten noticeably better, it&#x27;s still way behind Sublime. Opening a new editor window takes about three seconds on my MacBook Air, vs. less than a second for Sublime. I find myself opening new windows pretty often as part of my workflow, so I really, really hope they can cut that down. Also, Atom still struggles with large (&gt;2MB) files, but I don&#x27;t work with those often enough for it to be a big deal.
