Right. I think this is the point that people are really making.

Right now, Atom is just too slow when compared with other editors such as Sublime. Given enough time it shouldn't be an issue (maybe), but right now I think it's a huge pain point for a lot of devs.

I'm not sure I can think of any editor that's as laggy as atom.

In all fairness though: I wouldn't notice 99% of the time, and I can well imagine that this problem will disappear with time.

Emacs' performance can be pretty damn bad sometimes, but I don't use Atom enough to know their relative positions.
