I really want to make the switch to Atom (and willing to!) but I still find it to be slower than Sublime - even after the most recent 1.3 update .

For instance, updating packages and running a find-and-replace produces a noticeable slowdown in Atom compared to Sublime. I know that improvements to the speed of Atom has been underway so I plan to keep my eye on the development.

All that aside, kudos to HumanMade! I do believe that Atom will soon outperform Sublime and look forward to trying this out
