Agreed. The ability to paste some data I may or may not need after a couple more hours of debugging, and have that buffer save through a reboot -- without needing to save it to a file -- is something I've come to rely on. I only realized this when I tried Visual Studio Code, and noticed that it wasn't doing the same thing.

This is the reason I stopped using Atom and returned to ST. It's just so practical.

For anyone else who is missing this feature from Atom, try the save-session package.

I see on the package page that all its functionality has been merged into Atom itself.

I noticed that too, but for some reason I can't seem to figure out how exactly it works. It's not just like in ST, as my buffers get lost. After a while I just gave up because I don't actually need to switch from ST...

There's a confusing bug related to this feature. Currently, Atom only automatically re-opens unsaved buffers in "project" windows (those associated with a particular directory). See https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/10474 for details. It's a real bummer and I hope it gets fixed soon.

Ah, right! Now that you mention it I remember following that ticket. I must've neglected to remove the package after that happened.
