If I want to going to write a package to insert the current date at the cursor point, for example, I am likely going to just open up the webkit console and write code in their until it works (I did this) — instead of going to atom.io and finding their API documentation. One cop out too I was thinking about is that one could easily write a plugin to 'edit in' and assign a keyboard shortcut to handle the big files in their robust editor de jour.
