Atom is now my primary text editor for miscellaneous tasks, quick fixes and languages that are not supported by Jetbrains IDE plugin ecosystem. It can't match the refactoring and autocompletion capabilities but it is a very useful addition to a toolbox. Its strongest selling point is extensibility. I've never thought of developing text editor modules but to my surprise I've made a few Atom packages. They are strongly dependent on my personal workflow and have measurably contributed to my productivity. I've not experienced such benefits neither using sublime nor using notepad++. And it was quite enjoyable. Just opened the docs(admittedly somewhat lacking) and started hacking away. I am well aware that it is heresy, but I like that it is built on DOM. I don't care much about startup time or editing files with thousands of lines. Atom works great for my use cases.
