Ask HN: Atom vs. Submime Text

[NoahBuscher]

I've been a die-hard Sublime Text fan for a few years, and I love it, but Atom has come out in the recent months and I am wondering if there are any reasons I should switch? I understand that it's free and open source, but as far as features, speed, packages, etc for it go, what are your thoughts?

I've attempted to use atom full time a few times. Each time it's eventually slowed to a crawl, and switching tabs takes seconds. I really want to like it, but it's just not as fast as sublime (yet).

Thanks for the insight!
