I do not understand the need to separate a "code editor" from a text editor. What is code before it is interpreted or compiled? Text.
I do not object to the existence of Atom -- it scratches some people's itches, so that's fine -- but I do not buy "it's supposed to be a code editor" as enough of a justification for using it versus other text editors.
