I completely agree, atom takes about 2s to open on my machine and it drives me insane. IntelliJ on the other hand takes about 15-30s, depending on the size of the project, to open and it doesn't bother me at all. Maybe because IntelliJ in my mind is a full fledged IDE and atom is not, it also has a splash screen which helps in my opinion. EDIT: I'm on a brand new macbook pro with 16gb ram and a 512gb ssd and it takes 2 seconds. It takes about 10 seconds on my old chromebook.
