I used Atom for a lot longer than one week. When I switched to Go (or Rust, i dont recall which), the performance dropped to a degree that made it unusable. That was around mid to late 2019.

I would hope the perf has improved since then, but the overwhelming tide of community support behind other products still weighs against Atom imo. They can have a superior/preferable product, but if most of the users are on other platforms (particularly with products driven by user extensibility) it's difficult, perhaps impossible, not to be left behind.
