>It must be tough to see how quickly the community turns on you when something better (in some ways) comes around.
I agree, and i want to like atom. I love the motivation and i love how they have moved the "friendlier than VIM but not quite an IDE" market forward, because that's exactly the sort of editor I want.
but ultimately i'm trying to do a job, and that job is a lot easier when i'm not waiting for a text editor to catch up to my keystrokes. Even if it is some plugin's fault and not actually Atom's fault that the editor is slow, I don't have time to troubleshoot that when other editors don't let plugins screw up the editor.
