About 10 seconds of startup opening a directory, from terminal to loaded workspace. I'm on a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015). I have 76 community plugins installed.

76? Daaam. I thought I was overdoing it at 53. (If anyone wants to check: ls ~/.atom/packages | wc -l # minus 1 for the README Have you checked Timecop? (cmd-shift-p, "timecop") Might be a few you can do without.

I have too many. But it works well for me. I've worked on too many languages with the same editor, so I've got... Front and back-end JS tools (linting, tern autocompletion, builds); clojure with a repl and parinfer, paredit; some rust and elm plugins that can probably go since I just experimented with those mainly. Linter for terraform. I also use atom for general note taking, so I've got a couple plugins for that.

That's fine. But myself and a lot of other people get a lot of "serious programming" done using the approach.

I don't really understand what the benefit of it is.

For me, using vim+vimium for Chrome means that majority of the time my hands are on the keyboard. I barely ever use the mouse.

Have you seen a really seasoned vim user work? Purely from an efficiency point of view, vim/modal text editing is simply better than traditional text editors.
