Aren't all that bells and whistles with Atom that people say boost productivity making the app feel slugish and actually slow the user down when waiting or destracting him with stuff he doesn't need? I'm probably repeating what everyone else says in response to this post but I wanted to question OP's basic point against the article, which is resource consumption vs gained productivity. After all it is supposed to be a text editor and I'm not sure it really fits in the text editor category. It is best compared to IDEs imo.
