I don't have issues in terms of expressiveness, but in terms of performance. Complex/expensive regexs that run quite quickly in sublime take a long time on atom, especially on large documents.

Perhaps this is an abuse of the tool, but I find its convenient to do these sorts of things in a text editor where I can watch my regexs highlight it's selections in real time.
