I used to love Atom, the plugins were perfect and I could customise it to do exactly what I wanted. However, even on a fully specced macbook air, it just became too slow. I moved to VS Code because it had the speed I needed with the customisability that I wanted. Hopefully this Atom update increases performance though, I really liked that editor :)

I've had no particular performance problems (well, nothing I couldn't live with), and recent versions have improved things in various areas. It doesn't look like this version has much in the way of performance enhancements, but the next version, 1.19 (currently in beta) has a raft of stuff that should perk thinks up a bit.
