Atom can't open files larger than 2MB IIRC, and files below 2MB are.. very rough. This was about 6 months ago, though, so hopefully it's improved since then!

EDIT: yep, things have improved: https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/307

It still struggles with large files. I can crash atom at work often. Never managed to crash vs code. But vs code still lacks plugins. As does sublime nowadays.

Open a file with everything on one line in Atom, and you can bring it to its knees, even if the file is only a couple of kilobytes.

Oddly enough, about 2/3 of the times I come back to my work computer in the morning, VS Code is unresponsive and needs to be killed. (Yes, I should get together enough data to make a bug report out of this.)

But, yuck, sounds like I should keep using VS Code anyway. I kind of want to be able to use Atom, but 2 MB is a frighteningly low size limit.
