Sadly, no. I tried it out again a couple of days ago and the performance is still terrible. I'm in the same boat as you and switched to VS Code.

I hope xray[1] catches up. I prefer atom's UX-UI to any other editor but I agree that performance is still an issue. MS taking over Github doesn't seem to bring to a bright future. I really hope I'm wrong.

With xray focusing away from improving the editor experience and more on this new version control thing [1] for now, it doesn't seem like we'll be seeing a GitHub-provided alternative to Atom for some time.

In an AMA the future CTO said they would never get into text editor politics by merging the two or taking one away. Both editors will remain.
