Is anybody actually still using atom?

Still? I see quite a bit of people moving to it recently, around me at least.

For me, it has completely replaced textmate/sublimetext (except for one huge file from time to time, but I use command line head/sed etc for that too).

My favorite point is that it comes with a default configuration which works for me, which means installing it on a machine let me work straight away.

What does it offer you that Sublimetext doesn't? I've been thinking about taking a look at Atom for a while but wouldn't mind hearing something from the (or a) horse's mouth.

I test-drove it for a while and it ended up replacing ST3 in my toolkit/workflow. Until I switch to vim completely, Atom is filling in the gaps quite well.

These resources helped me in doing the switch: - nethack, for getting the hjkl in muscle memory - watching a few vimcasts - vim-adventures

I tried it but it feels lagging on my system.

No, I've moved on to Proton:
