Atom (hear me out): + runs graphically + runs linux, macos, windows (nothing else?) + open source + ridiculously, easily extensible + not riddled with bugs (slowness is not a bug) + for small files, comparably quick to Sublime on my machine + major dev community; already much better than 6 months ago - slow in some instances, esp. large files - doesn't run in terminal - doesn't run in less-popular OSes +/- moderate R…
Honestly I don't get the Atom hate. It's a great editor. I came to Atom from Sublime because the plugin ecosystem was growing much faster and the community felt more active. I haven't looked back since. And no, Atom not designed to open 30Mb files. Complaining about this is akin to stomping on a land mine and complaining that your Timberland boots didn't save your foot. Just use Atom for its intended purpose: editing…
As an emacs addict/user, what I really want is a credible alternative to that cockroach of editors. Price of admission: run in a terminal, run graphically, run on every possible system, be open source, be ridiculously, easily extensible. What a successor might add: Not be riddled with bugs. Not be ridiculously, terribly bad at actually displaying text (quickly, smoothly, large amounts). Not be extended in a language…

Let me know when they start advertising atom as a source code editor instead of a text editor.
Something about the phrase "Successor to Sublime" rubs me the wrong way. It's condescending and misleading. I initially thought, did the author of Sublime open source his work like the author of Textmate? But no, it looks like this looks like an independent project, and since Sublime is still updated, can there be a successor yet?
But how on earth do I start using it? No download, no install, nothing! That is going to be a major hurdle to adoption.
People might be interested in this one too - got a weird name, and it's still under development, but it seems pretty good http://www.vim.org/
Really, this is more like [NeoVim]( https://github.com/neovim/neovim ), in the way it's structured and with its aim to rebuild its namesake in a modular fashion with swappable UIs.
I use vim as editor for system files, but I only use the 1% of its capabilities I really need. All these shortcuts make me sick because I can't remember them and can't easily find them. That's also why I don't like Atom, sublime, Visual and all that kind of editors. I'll give a try to this Lime editor.
The best IDE around, in my humble opinion, is QtCreator because the interface is remarkably simple and intuitive. I regret no one tries to copycat this one.

> Just use Atom for its intended purpose: editing source files written by reasonably reasonable people. Let me know when they start advertising atom as a source code editor instead of a text editor.
It takes all of 200ms and a wee bit of inference to figure out that their usage of "text editor" is different from yours.
From the tone of some of these posts, you'd think downloading Atom and subsequently realizing it doesn't suit one's needs caused lasting psychological harm.
Semantics aside, Atom is good at what it does. For 99% of projects it's an excellent, flexible tool.

log files?
Going through log files and developing software are related, but distinct enterprises. It's no wonder the tools for one are sometimes suboptimal for the other.
Atom is about nice aesthetics, github integration and a plugin ecosystem. It's not trying to solve the problem of reading through massive log files.
