Atom messes up my graphics driver on Linux; so it isn't installed any more. Example: When i launch atom everything else in KDE disappears I can't see any other apps until I tab over to them. Moving the window in focus fixes it so the screen is back to normal until I launch a new application. Quitting X and restarting it is the only thing that fixes it. I liked Atom but like textmate it got forgotten and it will get harder to use over time
