Sometimes I try and open a massive XML file in Atom, it chokes and I have to kill the process. That doesn't stop me using it because the other 99% of the time it's a great user experience and the memory usage is completely irrelevant to me.
The thing about unoptimized code -- memory usage for large files in this case -- is that you can optimise it if and when it becomes a problem. No, Atom is never going to be nearly as small as Vim. But it could be a lot less than 3GB if it had to be.
