I've had Atom taking up 1.5 GB before.

Right now Spotify is taking up 1 GB. VLC can play 4k with less RAM, what the hell?

Try 10GB each for Illustrator & Photoshop CC :(

I really struggle to run Lightroom on my 8 GB Macbook Pro.

To be fair, Lightroom and Photoshop have an excuse: dealing with 20+ MP photos is memory intensive. Atom doesn't: dealing with 2 MB text files is not hard.

20 MP = 60 MB, right? So 1 GB should be sufficient?
