How about reducing the memory footprint?

Wow, that's a big one! I'm eager to try Atom out again after being burned by speed issues years ago.

I was a fan of Atom until I tried VSCode. Call me a shill, if you will, but it is an all around better experience and I haven't looked back.

You were downvoted to oblivion, but honestly this is a huge issue that somehow feels like people are just OK with.

Honestly, work with Atom open for a day or two on the same project, that's not uncommon right? Prepare yourself for some serious type lag.

Full disclosure, I run a Linux desktop with 32GB of RAM. I'm not accustomed to type lag. Judging by your downvotes it's an acquired taste.

This has been my experience as well. I really wanted to like Atom, but then I tried VSC. It's an incredibly well done editor, and it doesn't feel nearly as laggy as the average Electron app.

+1, VSCode feels way more polished.

Same here the moment I tried VS code I never went back even abandoned my PyCharm IDE.

+1, my coworkers always teased me for sticking with Atom and tried to get me to Sublime Text but VSCode was the first thing post-atom that stuck.

Atom just could not handle big files well, and years of waiting sadly didn't yield big enough results.
