Do you mean major as in "large", or as in "possessing some positive quality"? While I'm not commenting on Atom's dev community in particular, the two don't have a causative relationship.

A particular downside I see with Atom is it's performance - the perception of which is in some cases arguably approaching that of its competitors - and hence its energy impact, which affects my battery life.

It's large... Perhaps, not as high-quality as some other development communities... But quantity may help over quality.
