I fetch coffee when I want coffee. I don't plan my schedule around waiting for things that have no reason not to be completely instantaneous. I avoid any tool that takes longer than 100ms or so to start up. Anything slower than that is completely unacceptable at this point in the history of computing.

That's not what happens. They looked at the tool, stated it doesn't meet their needs, explained why, and then _did not adopt the tool_. The Atom folks can decide they don't want those users or they can address their abominable startup time, but you can't suggest "change how you do everything" and hope to win friends or users.
