Yes, I've used atom every single day since it came out to write my daily notes in markdown and then see them rendered as markup in the markdown previewer.

However after finding out about the vim bindings I've been using it as my primary text editor for the last month and I really like it.

It's got 95% of the `vim` goodness that I use combined w/ the thriving package scene and being able to extend it w/ JS.

FWIW here is a list of the packages which I'm currently using:

* atom-fuzzy-grep * atom-jshint * color-picker * git-plus * highlight-selected * minimap * minimap-autohide * minimap-bookmarks * minimap-find-and-replace * minimap-git-diff * minimap-highlight-selected * minimap-pigments * minimap-selection * pigments * vim-mode

this really enhances writing in markdown:

https://atom.io/packages/markdown-writer

I now write up tasks there (ctrl-t) and even switched from using org mode in spacemacs
