If only it weren't true.
On a fresh, OOTB El Capitan install, with an identical plugin load to what I use on vim, atom takes a good 5-6 seconds to appear, and a few more to become usable.
Atom is objectively slow, compared to its competition.
- msbarnett 11y agoAtom starts up really slow, but I restart it maybe once a week. It's the same as emacs; when you spend hundreds of hours in the same editing session, who gives a shit about 8 seconds you paid 7 days ago? I wouldn't call Atom slow in general use, post-startup, which is all I really care about anyways.
- Karunamon 11y agoAtom still has a memory/cpu/power consumption problem that requires restarting to fix. A quick google returned a number of active issues on Github.
