I use Atom from time to time on Windows and it is "good enough" although good old GNU emacs seemed more responsive in 1989.

I am interested in projectional editors and other tools that are a lot smarter than we used to do, but for tools like that to work they need to be really fast and most of the "editors written in a scripting language" (like Light Table) today seem to be marginal in terms of performance with no margin to do anything smarter.
