I used Sublime for 6 years (I migrated when TextMate was obviously dead) and am just recently attempting to switch to Atom. The package manager is fantastic, and the git integration is very nice as well. It's much better now than when it first came out. It can be very sluggish though.
That said, it's missing two very important features from Sublime that I used constantly. First, you can't use it like a scratch pad like Sublime. In Sublime you can open a file, write stuff to it, and it will be persistent. Atom seems to have an option to save your current work, but can't be used this way from my experience. The second is it doesn't have multi-select like Sublime. You can't drag your mouse and have a bunch of different carets. That was TextMate's killer feature imo, and Sublime as well.
