These features are all great but Atom has some big issues to fix that have been around for years. Things like the finder reindexing files every time the window loses focus: https://github.com/atom/fuzzy-finder/issues/88

Additionally the Atom-IDE packages and what will happen with them, many of them have PRs that have been merged in to fix bugs but never published to the package (for about a year now). Although Facebook dropped support for Atom-IDE it still has nearly 1 million downloads and largely works well but can no longer be contributed to since the repo is archived and the packages aren't up to date.
