I really want to see more articles like this one to get a feel for both editors. But I think the author doesn't know text editors all too well. Fast search&replace is a quite old feature. You could do that with line editors already, meaning you could do that _before_ there even were text editors. Also it's quite clear that Sublime is not the champion of text editors, but one of the several competitors, which the author might not know about? What I take from it is that Atom has improved a lot since the last report I have been reading, e.g. you can now compile it on Linux, the speed is still slow but it seems to be usable now, it takes reasonable features from other tools like Sublime, and the plugin idea seems to be working quite well. And I am quite surprised that the git support does not seem perfect yet. I would expect a team at Github to have an editor integrate especially well with git. The community argument from the article is a good one. While Sub has a big community now, because of its closed source nature the community is not free to grow as it likes. A free, plugin focussed editor might be able to take its place.
