The fact that the only important factor you can think for a text editor to improve on is text rendering speed shows that you're not really on Atom's target demographic. You'd think that hundreds of thousands of Atom users would convince you that maybe there's something to the editor that works for others if not for you. But nope, all those guys are happy with switching their main IDE to "a total step backwards", for some reason.
