Atom has a much better extension API, which can do a lot more. Here's a quick list of cool uses of the API: https://atom.io/packages/hydrogen https://atom.io/packages/merge-conflicts https://atom.io/packages/minimap https://atom.io/packages/color-picker https://atom.io/packages/markdown-preview-plus https://atom.io/packages/preview-inline https://atom.io/packages/pdf-view If you don't utilize the API, IMO Atom is just a noticeably slower, slightly prettier version of Sublime Text.
