I am a software engineer currently working @ShopPad, previously @HPE. I like to build websites and web application in PHP, JavaScript, and Golang. I have an unhealthy obsession with Mexican food (🌯)
I used to use Atom as my primary editor. However, I have experience that if you use many packages the editor can get very very slow. Also, editing huge files can take forever processing. For instance there is a file that have over 10k lines of code and I click return and it takes 5 - 10 seconds before the editor response.
For these reason, I have it installed as vanilla and use it for quick/simple editing.
Aye, that can indeed be a pain. That said, I haven't had much need to open large files, and in my experience it's not slow with those unless it's doing syntax highlighting on them.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Great list, you rock, Joshua! I use a few of these. I'm not sure how I could survive without color-picker.
Of course, the only truly necessary Atom package is Activate Power Mode
Indeed, color picker, especially combined with pigments, is awesome.
Ah yes, activate-power-mode. Sometimes I use that when I'm feeling really demotivated. It works wonders.
Great topic idea by the way, thanks! It's nice to see what everyone else's setups are, so that I can steal ideas for mine. xD

Yes, that can be very frustrating. Sometimes I'll accidentally click on a huge file from the drawer and the whole editor just freezes.
