I don't see any performance issues of notable concern with Atom. I've done my fair share of dev work both using Sublime and working on Sublime packages.

Are you constantly working in super large files or on an old machine?

Have you tried on the newest versions? They have made some serious performance upgrades: http://blog.atom.io/2014/07/22/default-to-react-editor.html And what react on atom is all about: http://blog.atom.io/2014/07/02/moving-atom-to-react.html

Also, if my package was solely responsible for making you feel Atom was slow, :-( (really hope not) I have, with the help of another contributor changed the labels and animations, so that they all behave a lot faster now, and the whole feel is a bit cleaner.

Maybe give Atom another shot with react turned on?

Also, while the whole character level precision ace-jump like easymotion is great it's a little too complicated for my tastes. Several other people agree. How have you been liking it? Does it jump between panes/views? Can you use it to highlight text?

I almost had a sublime version of jumpy working (it jumped views) but I found the architecture of sublime packages at least 4x more difficult to develop than Atom packages (web tech / chromium etc.)

I think with the ease of development of Atom packages it's only a matter of time before Atom takes over.
