I guess that people begin to talk about the dead of sublime text with the launch of github Atom. Since there are basically the same features and with a beautiful interface to manage the extensions, everyone started to look back to ST and ask: "Ok, what's your move now?".

I have almost nothing to complaint about ST, I've been using the version 3 regularly for a few months. Off course, I want new features (and a few bugfixes, damn you single quotes bug), but I'm pretty happy.

Until Atom does something for other than Mac, it's just an experiment and not a real tool.

I've been a Windows user for about two decades, and I've never heard anyone complain about software being Windows-exclusive — it was just the norm. But now that the Mac's become a little more popular, I see lots of tech-savvy people suddenly getting offended whenever a cool new piece of software comes out for OSX first. It's really annoying.

Unless you're using Mac. There are very good editor/IDE that run on a single platform.

Just like Final Cut or OmniFocus are not real tools?

I know I switched because it does everything Sublime Text 2 does for me - and then more. I even created my own package and published it online because it was so intuitive to extend.

What's not to love?

I've tried Atom when it was an alpha release and it was ok, lots of bugs (alpha release, it's all forgiven), but ok.

It seems to be slower than ST, but I didn't use it enough to see if it really is slower than ST in a all day work.

I read somewhere that there is a beta release now, I'll upgrade and give it a try again.
