These days, I Googled “Sublime Text vs Atom 2016”, trying to see if Atom has significant improvement when I found Visual Studio Code. The reason I sticked with Sublime Text was performance: Atom was slow, even after when Atom 1.0 was announced.
I tried Atom one or two year ago and I was impressed by its active community (GitHub! I love GitHub). Speaking of text editor, I have been using Sublime Text for around 3 years, and I have no issues with it.
