Anecdotally, Atom runs fine on my MBP from 2012... Sure it's a bit of a hog resource wise, but I find that the benefits outweigh the cons.

- dopamean 11y ago> Sure it's a bit of a hog resource wise I think that's his point. To some people, like leejoramo, if their text editor is a resource hog then it is not running fine.
- lostPixels 11y agoIt has zero effect on my workflow though. I can run Chrome, Safari (for testing), Outlook, Slack, music streaming, etc. without any slowdown when developing with Atom. Edit: Just checked, after using Atom for two days straight it is currently occupying 80MB of ram. Anecdotally, the claim that Atom is a resource hog is actually wrong.
- criddell 11y agoIf you are running on battery power, the demands of Atom over something like BBEdit is a pretty big deal.
