Yes Daniel. I agree with you. I use Atom as my main editor and I am quite happy.
With each release it becomes better and I am sure that it will approach Sublime's speed once it matures a little bit more. I am sure that people who worked with Sublime Text work in Atom now. And it appears to me that there are no new releases for Sublime (as far as I know). Best, "Pileas" Τη Σάββατο, 29 Νοεμβρίου 2014 4:14:17 π.μ.
