I find my Atom is plenty fast, as long as I don't bloat it with too many (and the wrong kinds) of plugins. The large file problems were almost a deal-breaker for me but then I switched to the latest beta and that fixed those problems.
That said, I am not 100% sold on it yet. The killer feature of Atom.io for me is that it is cross-platform. For most developers that shouldn't matter but have been working on some platform-agnostic web development tutorials and for that use case, there really isn't any valid alternative.

Cross-platform support is not a rare thing for text editors. Even Sublime Text is cross-platform and it does it without bundling an entire browser inside the package.
