I 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.

- 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
