I see this argument over and over but I've never heard why it's too slow. I enter a key, the text is immediately updated. Sure, starting the editor takes 3 seconds but that's about it. Not only that, but Atom gets a faster startup with every update. The only thing I found bothersome was the 2 MB filesize restriction.

Atom is also huge - 77 MB installer on Windows, while Sublime Text 3 is 8 MB. It hardly fits the bill for a lean-mean-editor. Atom doesn't have a 64-bit version either. I tried it as a replacement for Sublime Text 3 but it just doesn't cut it. I am wondering why ST3 development had slowed down in the first place.

It's great. SB3 beta has been completely stable for me the past year, so looking forward to testing the new builds.

The plugin system dies for me regularly. I wish I didn't have to quit ST3 to fix that.

Just tried opening a file larger than 2MB....nope. End of Atom tryout.

I'm using Atom to code. If you have a source file bigger than 2mb, trust me, the Atom limit is the last of your problems. :)
