Personally, I've tried most of the popular free text editors in the past, and I gave up on Atom after using it a few times. It wasn't a bad product, but there was too much competition at that point already, it was just a bit too late. Atom took a while to load, didn't have as many plugins as other editors and finally didn't seem to offer that much of a differential compared to other text editors. I now use Notepad++ for basic editing (and some Python coding) and VS Code for most of my real coding work.
