Sublime Text 3:

Build 3103: February 2016

Build 3080/3083: March 2015

Build 3065: August 2014

Build 3059: December 2013

Atom:

1.6: March 2016

1.5: February 2016

1.4: January 2016

1.3: December 2015

User experience-wise, I don't find a large difference between the two editors. Some things are better in ST3, some are better in Atom, but these are very minor things and they're more about my personal preferences rather than the operation of either editor.

The fact that Atom is actively developed however, is a major boon in my eyes. I am confident that whatever bug pops up in Atom will be seen to within a reasonable timeframe. I have no such confidence regarding bugs and issues in ST3.

I'm just as annoyed as anyone else about the rate of development on Sublime Text, but please, at least state the whole truth.

Release Date: 18 March 2016

I doubt their intent was to state a half truth. It seems that they were making the point that nearly a year passed between 3083 and 3103.

I also deliberately disregarded the dev builds, since I don't think I'm alone in not wanting to run an unstable/bleeding edge version of a program I work with.
