Not using it. Not sure what is the big deal.

No, I think text editors need to be open source. Too important to trust proprietary software with.

No, I might once I get deeper into JS though, if the VIM bundles don't satisfy me.

I've been using it for a few weeks now. It has been really enjoyable so far. I don't take advantage of all of its features, but my web development has been spot on.

What editor were you using previously, and what in Atom made you switch over?

I was using Aquamacs Emacs editor. I tend to like simple editors for coding at home. I use IntelliJ and VisualStudio for my day work. One major feature I enjoy is the multiple selections hotkey. I've been making some level designs and editing a 20x20 array can be slow.
