Like just about everybody else it seems, I use Sublime Text. Every year or so since I first heard about Atom, I give it a couple weeks. It has really come a long way since pre-1.0 days. It is very usable and doesn't crash nearly as often. However, there is strange behavior that ends up pushing me back to ST3. Over the years I've developed a "bullshit cutoff point" after which I stop using an application. If a distro/app/site/whatever is making me spend hours on getting it working/fixed/performant/whatever, I go back to what works until some months down the road. I think Atom is very close to being a top-tier editor, but not quite yet "better" than Sublime for my purposes. I do think that it's just a matter of time, though, that an army of developers will eventually surpass one developer (as long as its not mismanaged, and Atom certainly isn't). So for me, Atom's day is still yet to come, but I do think it will come. So for example, multiple panes and session/editor restarts should be flawless for me to give serious consideration to an editor. If there is even one bump in the road, I judge extremely harshly. And problems/bugs with panes and remembering my session is what pushed me back to Sublime this spring. I should be able to drop whatever I'm doing, restart Linux, and when it boots back up, start the editor and it will be as though nothing happened, including multiple unsaved tabs. Atom has a lot of trouble with this.
