Atom is a full featured text editor, like vim or emacs.
The editing experience is therefore way superior to Firefox or Chrome textarea,
and you can use all the shortcuts, plugins and goodies you are used to.
For a short comment, a basic textarea is of course enough,
but when you write something a little longer,
I think it is a real gain of time to be able to edit in a real editor.
