Sounds a lot like TextMate pre-Sublime.

Atom is the third in a succession of hipster text editors. It'll be interesting to see if it ever gets performant enough to use primarily and if its open nature enables it to perch on the roost a bit longer.

The day we can have a discussion on text editors without someone trying to slip in a little dig like that... well, it's a day that's not coming anytime soon.

The hype is real but I won't put Atom in this category : it's probably the most hackable editor since Emacs.

Hispters are going to spacemacs already, before it gets a "1.0" tag.

(Went textmate -> sublime -> atom -> spacemacs by myself)
