I do understand the difference between start-up time and switching time. I included the latter to tell about my experience with editors like eclipse (and other editors developed in Java). Have not used Atom. Great for you, if you like it. My point being, when I started to use ST (which has been coded in C++). It dawned on me, that most editors not coded in C/C++ (or coded in Java, which are the ones I used) are slow, mainly because of lots of extra memory usage. Using ST also brought back the memories of fast and responsive Vi(m) earlier. I recalled, even MS Visual C++ (which I believe is done in either C or C++), which I used before eclipse/etc was quite fast. Hence my submission. So now, I don't think I am going to like using a coding editor, which is done in any garbage collected language (basically any non C/C++ language). As a side note, when I tried to use the DartEditor for coding in Dart, after having tasted ST, I was thinking why did Dart team not make a simple ST plugin instead? I believe an editor could make a difference in adoption of a new language. In love with ST.
