I use it pretty interchangeably with ST3 since most of the keybindings are the same. For Rails, JS and general web work, it's pretty nice. The Atom Linter plugin is nicer than at the Sublime linters I've tried. I've been on it from day one and have encountered a number of bugs, but I do prefer its settings pane and ability to reskin the entire ui easily, the ability to quickly tweak themes and plugins with just html, css and JS and the fairly quick pace of development. I like that they're curating an official package manager with an update UI and an official repo instead of it being 3rd party bolted on functionality. Remapping keys is easier and profiling a slow/problem plugin is doable without resorting to trial and error. I do wish there was a good way to resize split panes though. And the file size limit sucks when wanting to view logs. Their vim mode is still not emersive (my only comparison are evil-mode, which does a damn fine job, and ST Vintage mode, which is... ok). It's still new, I'm willing to forgive growing pains and I think it could easily overtake ST eventually, given that it's fully open source, is making faster progress, is free, and offers a whole lot of feature parity. Speed has never really been a problem for me and my codebases, but i can imagine that the web stack its built on could be a source of problems in some scenarios.
