I hope they address memory consumption at some point too.

Same! This really is the only reason I don't use atom as of now

Having my code analyzed by others' servers just so I can have better autocomplete does not sound like something I want.

The servers run entirely locally on your machine.

Yep, I was using Atom for 6 months, I wanted to give a solid go. But now I am back to sublime text.

I can't really put my finger on it, but sublime text is just snappy and reliable in ways that Atom isn't. Got really tired of Atom lagging because I'm typing too fast, got tired of lockups and hanging. VS Code has very simillar issues too.

It was a nice experiment (can we do editors in HTML/JS?), but I'm convinced native is the only way to go for proper editing.

In my opinion, this is how IDEs should be - make something better described as a text editor (like a fresh install of vim, sublime, or atom), and allow users to add more things to the light-weight(ish?) base. So many IDEs are overkill. Text editors with the right plugins can accomplish the same things but also be much more lightweight, and help you achieve a balance between "IDE" and "text editor"

They mean the local language server/interpreter, I think.

Honestly can't see why I'd use this - I have all the professional grade IDEs I need, why do I need one that is written in JS, is slower and consumes 5x more memory? Not to mention IDEs already have their own extension stores too. This seems like an 'IDE-lite', which doesn't make much sense in a world where professional grade IDEs are free.
