I wanted to use Atom for the reasons you stated, and gave it a decent chance for a few months. Cool product as far as features and community. However, went back to Sublime due to Atom's heavy CPU/battery usage and freezing while I'm typing (without plugins too).
>package management
Sublime has greate package management, don't see a problem here. Package Manage is now part of the app, works great too.
Same for theming tools (Unless we are talking about something different than being able to theme the app\syntax and work with your list of themes.)
Not sure what "social" is though. Sublime has forum and packagecontrol.io \ github repos what else do you need?

As a Sublime user - what exactly is it that Atom has which Sublime doesn't? The Sublime add-on package community is quite active and there are many high-quality packages after all.
Atom's 3rd party linter package is nicer than SublimeLinter (allows auto fixing, persistently showing errors throughout file, a few other niceties). Atom exposes nicer UIs for configuring things. There's more quality depth to Atom's 3rd party libs in my experience. I wrote this a while ago, it gives some idea what is possible with Atom: https://benmccormick.org/2016/01/11/the-most-interesting-ato...

Well, Sublime has some community goodness - two of my favorite aspects of it, filter lines (https://github.com/davidpeckham/sublime-filterlines) and Diffing (http://www.sublimerge.com/) are both third-party.
Thanks...long time Sublime user, but I was unaware of Sublimerge. Looks interesting.

Same thing here, except I did Sublime -> Atom -> VSCode.
Atom/VSCode are open-source and not written in C++, so they can evolve a lot quicker, with many more contributors than Sublime's one-man-army.
But instead they're written in Node with HTML and CSS as a UI. And honestly, for a text editor, that's a bit perverse. I want my editors fast and lightweight.

It's a spectrum for me. I use Vim for most light things, and a Jetbrains IDE for most very heavy things. Right in the middle is something like Atom or VS Code. The load times and overall weight of an Electron app aren't bad in that context.
Considering Sublime's speed, I trust the one man show more than random contributors.

Believe the main fellow behind Sublime hired the main fellow behind Package Control, which is the reason for the steady updates over the past year or so.
VS Code doesn't even remember window size. I used Sublime for 4 years and I'm trying Atom now. It works fine and has nice features but it's sluggish.
I just want to say, I miss you, Sublime. Can you just pls get all of the community oriented niceness that Atom has, so I can stop using Atom and come back to your elegance, pls?
