One more downfall is that Atom can’t currently handle file sizes larger than 2Mb. 2 Megabits (0.25 MB) sounds like an incredibly small file size limit for any

  You've posted things like this multiple times. I realize that, to be pedantic, you're correct. But in every instance I've seen it's plain from context what is meant - I haven't heard file sizes referenced in bits in, I was going to say a long time, but ever. Similarly with a comment on downloads on cellular networks and caps - again, if someone says "I have a plan that limits me to 4Gb", who actually, sincerely thinks that that means "four gigabits, i.e. 500 megabytes" as opposed to 4 gigabytes? I guess I fail to see what value you're adding to the conversation, particularly given the tone. It's clear you know exactly what the poster meant, but rather than acknowledging it, you've offered some fairly unhelpful, sarcastic remark instead.

While usage caps are typically in MB, GB or "Unlimited", bandwidth is usually measured in Megabits and Gigabits. It might seem pedantic, but why not use the correct units in the first place to avoid potential confusion? > It's clear you know exactly what the poster meant, but rather than acknowledging it, you've offered some fairly unhelpful, sarcastic remark instead. I didn't mean for my comment to come across as sarcastic. I haven't tried Atom myself so I don't know if the limit is actually 2Mb or 2MB. Even the latter is a very small limit for any text editor. Would you not agree?
