Yeah, someone complains about the resource usage in every Atom post.
I feel likes it's a rehash of emacs vs vi debate from 30 years ago. Emacs needed many megabytes more than vi so people wouldn't use it.
As time goes on the resource usage becomes less of a problem. My 4 year old laptop has 16GB of RAM and I don't really worry about it. I'll get 32GB or 64GB in my next computer. I never liked quibbling over memory. My time is much more important to me and I want the best tools. I also want them to swim in RAM.
