Being web-tech based was/is basically the core feature and motivation of building Atom I believe. So I don't think they could have picked anything else (unless compile-to-js langs count).
- luckman212 12y agoI wonder what the future for Atom will look like with respect to performance. I use both (Atom + Sublime) infrequently; load times for Sublime are "instant" on my Mac Mini vs. ~6 seconds for Atom with only minimal packages installed (minimap, color-picker). I remember reading that perf wasn't going to be looked at until after 1.0. The pace of Atom's development is impressive but I find myself cringing slightly before launching Atom in anticipation of the slow load time. I guess I'm spoiled but I like my editors to load in <1s.
