Atom is a small bit slower than sublime, but it has just as many or possibly more plugins, has a nicer settings and plugin interface, and is open source and free.
- profmonocle 10y agoI switched to Atom a few months ago, and I agree with all your points, but I think you're being a bit generous calling Atom "a small bit slower". On my machine (2013 MacBook Air) Sublime opens instantaneously, while Atom takes 2-3 seconds. Opening files is also noticeably slower, though not by as much. Memory usage is also far higher, in the hundreds of MBs vs tens.
- eivarv 10y agoThis has been my experience as well, in addition to an increase in energy use.
- adrianhoward 10y agoMe too. I poke at Atom every few months — but speed + battery time are why I'm currently sticking with ST.
