Thanks Kay, that did the trick. There's still a couple of things Tom doesn't appear to do, both regarding indentation.
The script editor ( and TextMate) automatically indent after if/repeat/switch statements, Atom doesn't. I know it has snippets that will insert a complete if block with indentation but if I simply type an if statement followed by return, no indentation. The other one is if I press the tab key in the IDE Script Editor, all my code is properly indented and aligned. I would guess that's too specific for Atom to be able to handle, but I miss that feature.
