Thanks for the detailed reply, very helpful :) I wasn't trying to raise an issue at all, merely state that Spacemacs isn't as obvious to a new user as Atom - but I'm not saying that that's a bad thing, obviously (Spac)emacs has a lot more power under the hood potentially and I am sure is worth the additional effort to learn. I have to say I'm impressed with what a good job you have done of making it user friendly :)
