I for one, absolutely love Atom. I (sincerely) thank GitHub and the surplus of VC cash that allows projects like these to happen at places like GitHub. Except for the sub-native speed, Atom basically offers everything that high-quality commercial text editors (BBEdit, Coda, Chocolat, early Textmate ) used to offer. On top of that, it's open-source, is free with no limitations, and totally cross-platform. It comes with a minimap, for goodness sake! I currently use a mix of both ST and Atom, depending on my mood.
