Atom, with a single source file open and freshly started, already weighs in at 500 MB resident when adding all processes together . It still lacks mode sensitive toolbar support, button bars, and basics Emacs has. I wish I could find a good editor that didn't kill my machine. Computers have far more memory and computing now that 10 years ago, but everything seems to run so much slower because of the cavalier attitude towards performance nowadays.
