For what it's worth, I use Atom on a daily basis. In the end, outside of editing git messages, it just isn't that important that my editor be that fast- and for the average bit of web development during the day, it's more than up to the task after the initial folder load.
Did I have to adjust my workflow a bit for it? Sure. But honestly, the dividends its paid in terms of making it easy to create snippets, easy to fork and extend addons, and in just making me smile through dumb pretty UI things is totally enough. And the vim folks that use it and keep pushing it further and further are having a good time, 'cause aside from a few buggy commands it's a joy to vi around Atom.
Like I said in my original post- it's slow, but you can make it the perfect(if slow) editor if you want to, and that's pretty well.
