I'm running this spec and I personally don't find the speed is an issue. I waste far more time when once a week Thunderbolt causes a kernel panic.

On: Atom 1.0

Sorry be that guy who posts his specs and disagrees... :-)

Running on a stock mid-2011 Air w/ 4GB Ram plus a Thunderbolt display. If it was slow, I would have switched or upgraded my machine sometime ago.

Things that are slow to me are waiting for node-sass to compile on save, server-side code reloading, npm installing... and so on.

It highly depends on your usage pattern.

I usually have one long-lived instance of an editor for the project/thing I'm focusing on, but I also frequently fire up "temporary" instances for one-off editing jobs, from the terminal.

The difference between, let's say, "subl ." (launch Sublime Text in the current directory) and "atom ." is staggering: Sublime Text starts instantly with a boatload of plugins; Atom starts nearly instantaneously but then takes around 5 seconds to become usable, without plugins, after repeated runs.

(Speaking of specs, I'm on a late 2013 Retina MacBook Pro, 16 GB of RAM)

Yup, that is totally where it is slow. Would be great if they could nail that.

I must be more tolerable to that startup time, perhaps I've even become used to it.

I never close my text editor (ST2 that is). Why would I do that? So I guess Atom is not for me then?

Is my Twitter screwed? No tweets since Dec 2013.

On: Atom: Hello Windows

[MozMorris]

I said something similar on seeing Sublime after using TextMate for 5 years.

I will switch when Atom gets more stable (I still encounter bugs everywhere), and more performant.

I have already developed a plugin for Atom, I hate the living shit out of Coffeescript, but I like Atom's API. It's a shame that the spacepen API was built in such a way that it's unbearable to write plugins with it in pure js.

That's the thing, the recording turns out crap.

In relation to your side note, perhaps a site like http://html5up.net/ might be of use. I'd be interested if others have other similar resources they use.

Wow, those are super slick. Thanks for sharing.

Yup. Mr. "a:10 v:10"

Those were the most helpful comments. You'd see a four on either metric and know not to waste time.
