Atom is my editor of choice due to the Platform.IO extension for IOT development. On my machine, just starting Atom 1.13 involved two interruptions by message boxes saying "Editor is not responding" which had to be closed manually in order to continue with the start-up process. Those annoying boxes have vanished completely with 1.14., so there is some significant performance improvement.

Could this give rise to self perception or consiousness?
