This was always going to happen, Atom was always doomed to fail.

Why was that technology stack used to develop Atom? A browser window to render a text editor?

If Atom wanted to take over the world, it should have chosen a technology stack that made it run AT LEAST as quick as Sublime Text. Instead we got Eclipse. Therefore, it's never going to get traction outside a niche.

LESSON LEARNED: Choose a technology stack that benefits the end user, not one that suits the developer of the software.
