I would like to be the first to welcome you to the world where your personal preferences and experiences aren't universal. I don't use my computer exclusively for editing text, and therefore my text editor is not open all the time.

Ok, well if I was developing a programmer's text editor I'd consider you a marginal user and design for the use case of the editor staying open 24/7. Startup time seems pretty low on the priority list.
- BugsJustFindMe 9y agoDesign for whatever you want to design for. Plenty of us are programmers who program all day every day and still don't agree with you. What you choose to prioritize is different from what you understand, though. So at least now you should "get" the gripes.
- joehewitt 9y agoWell if the Atom developers are reading this I want to encourage them not to waste energy optimizing startup time due to Hacker News complainers who are using the product for a use case better suited to Notepad.
- oiuyh87yy3 9y agoI mean, one can turn that around: If slow startup time is no good for you, don't use an editor with slow startup times? Does a project need to consider each users edge-cases to be successful? Also, I read the original post as slightly tongue in cheek. Thanks for reminding us subjective experience is still a thing in this physical world.
