Re:Why Atom Can’t Replace Vim – Learning the lesson of vi

I've tried atom with vim-mode, and it's not enough to replace either vim or emacs-with-evil-mode in my toolbox, not even close.
While the vim keybindings and modes in the editor are ok, it really lacks the keyboard-driven window and panel control you have with vim. Basically, the UI still needs to be driven with a mouse, which totally breaks my workflow. As another commenter put it, vim-mode is a bolt-on, rather than an integral part of the editor.
