As much as I liked the idea of Atom, giving it a genuine try for about six months, I ended up going back to trusty Sublime Text. Why? As a developer, I think it's silly to make my computer do more work than necessary, to take up more CPU and battery than needed. And, the subtle non-native sluggishness always seemed to reduce the usability, ever so slightly, not also counting the occasional "the editor has frozen" prompts.
Admittedly, Atom's background color is hands-down more eye pleasing with its slightly blue tint. Fortunately Sublime is skinnable.
