I like Atom's interface, but it's such a resource hog. So I will continue to stick with Sublime.
- alexandernst 9y agoI'm sorry you're getting negative votes for saying the truth...
- jimnotgym 9y agoI use Atom on a 2nd gen core I5 laptop with 4gb ram with no issues. I use it on a mid-gen i5 desktop 8gb on Ubuntu in Virtualbox on Windows aswell. It would be interesting to know what is causing these horror issues some people report.
- ahtu123 9y agoCould be the size of the files. Atom at least used to just crash when you opened a file too big.
- jimnotgym 9y agoAtom warns you with very large files (like logs) before you try and open and is not snappy like Vim. However that is yet to trouble me in my pursuit of a code editor. I don't write code that is 300k lines in one file. When I am reading logs I tend to use tail and grep anyway. I don't see how this translates into general slowness for normal use cases
- kojeovo 9y agoWhen's the last time you tried? Ever since 1.19 it's been fine for me when it comes to speed / resource usage.
