- austenallred 9y agoThanks; I'll upgrade
- brlewis 9y agoHas memory usage also been a focus? I got scared off from exploring Atom a month ago by https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14141855 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14141855
- apetresc 9y agoI think that guy's just exaggerating, or using a buggy plugin. I'm running Atom 1.16 in Windows right now, 2 panes with ~6 tabs open and it's sitting at around 25 MB of memory. This is with vim-mode and a python autocomplete plugin running.
- rvanmil 9y agoYou must be overlooking the `Helper` processes. Running a clean install of Atom takes about 400MB memory (macOS Sierra).
