Meh.
I tried many editors when I decided which one to use—including VSCode—and Atom was the one where I was the most productive by a long shot.
Speed isn't everything. Atom is quick enough for the code I work on, and in other, much faster editors like Sublime Text I would be less productive and therefore slower. For instance, editing settings/packages in Sublime Text in unnecessarily nightmarish. Changing settings and installing plugins in Atom is a breeze.
Who cares if the editor is a few milliseconds faster when you're many minutes slower..? Just because of its excellent GitHub integration Atom is worth 100 times more than Sublime Text to me (even if it wasn't free).

- nkkollaw 9y agoThen you might give Sublime Text a try. I get annoyed about having to switch to GitHub, for instance. It's fine to have opinions, I'm just annoyed by the fact that every time there's a post about Atom the conversation gets hijacked by "VSCode vs. Atom" comments. That's why I'm bitching. I shall go update Atom instead.
