I have crappy finger dexterity. Makes vim and emacs no fun.

  That's... really unfortunate. Have you looked into customization to potentially make them usable for you? It's fine if you don't want to, but I'd hate to see somebody unable to use such useful tools due to a lack of finger dexterity.

    No, I have not. I took a career assessment test about 20 years ago through this organization => http://www.jocrf.org http://www.jocrf.org. They said I tested in the bottom 5% of all people they've tested for finger dexterity. My fingers are just clumsy. I knew it, and they provided some validation for that. At this point, using Atom (or any GUI IDE) provides me with 80%+ of the functionality I need when coding. If I get to a point where my IDE mojo starts becoming a blocker for me, then I'll revisit optimizing my IDE skillz.

      Well then, good for you. IMHO, Emacs is the best tool for my job, but if it doesn't work for you, and something else does, than use it.
