what's up with name reuse these days. atom (the syndication format) may be on the verge of becoming obsolete, but it's also forgotten and irrelevant already to warrant a name reuse?
I don't see the problem, they aren't even in the same domain.
I still haven't given Atom a go. Is it worth switching from ST3?
Atom is nice but much slower than ST3. It takes 30 seconds to open a file while ST3 almost instantly loads. It's not worth switching from Sublime.
Granted all my devices use SSDs, but still for me it's been like 10 seconds at the worst, and currently it opens in like 3-4 (and i have about 30 plugins too)
What is it?
i have been using it for 3-4 months now and its getting there each month. Sometimes the plugins fail but this could be because of the rapid development cycle of atom. On the positive side, its a good text editor, easy interaction, plugin install super easy. A downside is that its not easy on your ram though. Consumes more than what vim would do. But overall, if you need a modern editor, this is the way forward.
How well does it support other languages other than JavaScript? Will I be able to do mobile Android and iOS development at some point, or Haskell, Go, etc?

Is it still limited to only editing files < 2 Megabytes? For most people that is not a showstopper, but it may be for some.
No, recent patch increased the limit to blazing 4 MEGABYTES!
Have they resolved the long-standing performance issues present for the last six months? I've tried using Atom numerous times, but the longer it runs, the less stable it gets.
I haven't been using atom for those exact reasons. Definitely going to give it a shot again now.
