I'm writing code in Bash, Go, JS, Python, and PHP and I have to say for 4-5 years I was using Sublime Text Editor. About a month ago I switch to Atom and I'm notlooking back.

Right now I have to say switching from Sublime to Atom is that Atom does everything that Sublime was only able to learn through trial and error. The only difference is Atom did it right the first time. Ease of use, configuration, package manger, and simplicity.

Atom is worth checking out just for the package management system.

My packages are mainly language specific, but I really suggest minimap (Like sublime source code viewer) if you're missing Sublime's feel.
