That'd be a fair comment if atom was using 12Mb, but 3GB???

  It's ~850MB, and it's only at that level when using it outside it's intended purpose. Atom was not designed to open 6MB XML files. If that makes it worthless for you, that's okay, but for some of us it doesn't matter. I'm never going to open a 6MB XML file, I might open a 1MB JS file, but that is extremely rare. Earlier in the article, it shows that opening a 60 byte file only used 250MB, and that's more than reasonable to me.

    >using it outside its intended purpose. Examples of this would be: - Playing three Ultra-HD (4k) video streams somehow - Running a Virtual Machine with 64 GB of virtual RAM - Acting as a server and servicing 1,000,000 concurrent HTTP connections - Brute-forcing an automated theorem proof of an open problem, using full first-order logic built equational calculus Not outside its intended purposes: - opening a fucking text file
