1. I found it interesting that some 'projects' only officially support Atom, e.g. www.polymer-project.org 2. Really fast release scedule. While this may trade of some stability here and there, it cetainly adds new features quicker than Sublime or Vim (AFAIK). --If you're willing to pay, why not JetBrains or Sublime? 3. Why should you pay for other Editors if you don't have to with atom? :D I'm a CS student and a lot of people I know are using atom because they can't afford/ are not willing to pay ~50 bucks for an IDE/ text editor.
