No?
Well, then, I'm still not using Atom: unlike many, I don't mind JS, but not having a uniform buffer model is a major regression from Emacs, and the features we're getting instead just don't cut it.

In another 20 years, will Atom be considered “lightweight” the way Emacs is now? Will Atom even still be around? I'm fairly confident Emacs will still be around…
