#13The biggest issue for me is startup speed. Atom simply takes too long for me. I'm often quickly having a look at large numerical csv files and Atom startup times plus csv load times are always large enough to immediately switch back to sublime. Still want to like Atom though.

Then I use Sublime Text for big files, quick edits, and the occasional stuff that Atom can't do yet.
But after avoiding Atom initially, trying it again about a week a go was a nice surprise. It has almost any plugin that I used Sublime Text for, and a bunch more. It's good enough for me, and I'm pretty picky.

No. Your previous comment is simply irelevant as a HN comment. Look at the other comments in a similar style to yours. All downvoted as well. Editor wars are so damn dull without any factual exchanges.

#17Everyone uses editors differently (hence the big vim/emacs/etc flame war) and it is where you'll spend time coding. A lot of time. I don't think reading someone else's opinion really helps.
When I chose my editor everyone was crazy about TextMate. I tried it out and didn't like it. I was completely afraid of Vim (and all of the jokes about how hard it was) and after I tried it I couldn't stop using it. It's a very personal choice.
Just try them out!

#19I liked it, the dealbreaker (to say the least) for me was broken support for non-US keyboard layouts, it can't differentiate alt from alt-gr making it impossible for me to type most brackets and pipe.
This has been an open issue for months, with a couple of community contributed "solutions" that don't quite cut it. Considering they are pretty much ignoring the problem I won't be checking out Atom again soon.
