People argue it is very similar to Sublime, but is open source, thus has higher community support and promising future.
I would not compare Atom to emacs or vim. On the other hand, Windows always frustrated me of low text editors choice, Atom might quickly earn its name on Windows platform.
So far I'm having a hard time discerning its value over the Windows release of Geany. I'm not saying that it doesn't have that value, I'm just struggling to find it. Having said that, choice is generally perceived to be a good thing.
I use and like Geany on Linux. GTK apps on Windows have always been buggy for me though. Geany had a strange issue where it would sometimes maximize larger than the screen, so the only way to get control of the window again was WindowsKey+DownArrow.
I also have trouble finding nice themes for Geany.
Sublime and Notepad++ are much more polished, but I plan on giving Atom a legitimate trial now that there's an official build.
