Why am I expected to have a workstation-class laptop to run my text editor?

  You really aren't. Atom runs fine on a Macbook Air. There are definitely performance issues, but we're addressing them; it's just that our team is small and our initial goal at launch was to produce the most hackable text editor possible.

    I had to drop Atom when it began launching white flashes when scrolling on a 2011 MBA. I saw that this was a recurring problem. Is that an issue that is being addressed?

      Do you remember if there was an issue opened for this on the Atom repo? I haven't heard of this problem.
