I tried installing it recently and adding on the facebook react extention, and whilst installing it completely broke.

Restarting made it end up in the same install cycle as before.

Atom fixes what is broken in Sublime, but has it's own issues that are currently far worse.

Facebook have their own "ide" - Nuclide. Many of their plugins break Atom when used standalone.
To make that clearer: Nuclide is to Ubuntu as Atom is to Debian. You can use Debian packages on Ubuntu, but Ubuntu packages are really unlikely to work on Debian.
