So Atom should consume as much as Eclipse?, that's a no-go for me. Too bad, looked nice.

Atom uses similar memory like VSCode, so you should try it

how much would be that aprox? I'm used to work with a bunch of open files next to each other, and I like my RAM available, also I'm used to Vim so over 100MB for text editing is barbaric to me, RAM is expensive around here.

It's an electron app like VSCode so I think that it consumes more then 100 mb. See this article for some insights blog.atom.io/2019/07/23/atom-1-39....

thanks for the info, I'll check it out, even if I don't end up using it, is good to have alternatives to recommend others when asked, I love Vim, but is not everyone cup of tea :)

You are welcome. Glad I could help.
Just out of curiosity, do you work in Dev OPS or support that you need all the RAM for something else, then the editor?
