Actually, that's what I thought when I tried using Sublime Text for a while. It took me hours of editing the JSON file to get it do look and behave like I wanted, while Atom has a very convenient GUI to change settings and install plugins and themes.
When I was finally done, I realized that the project tree view—if that's how it's called—sorts files with folders first like on Windows, and being on macOS it was too confusing for me since that was the only place throughout the OS where that happened.
To me, Atom is the solution to Eclipse's stagnation, Sublime Text's somewhat high price tag (I know we can afford it, I'm just saying), and personal preference, plus really good GitHub integration which for me is paramount.
I wouldn't define myself a uber-geek.
