I use Atom in a couple of places

1) Old Linux laptop with 4GB of RAM which I leave open for days on end without issues

2) Linux VM on virtualbox on my 8GB Ram desktop. I went for months leaving Atom open in the VM (saving it day to day) without issues

I'm not even using an up to date version of Atom? I know Atom is not great with very large files (it warns you before you open them) but for me this is only things like logs which I read from the command line with tail and grep. I have no need to open large files in my coding editor.
