Atom.

I used to use Vim exclusively but in an experiment to try new things decided to give Atom a go and really liked it.

The eco-system is strong and it gets out of my way as much as possible.

Do you have a sense of the Atom ecosystem compared to Sublime? I have been using Atom too, but it will never be as performant as Sublime, so it needs to really have a much stronger ecosystem to be worth the tradeoff.

I used Sublime for a while before moving to Vim, but that was several years ago so can't speak to what it is like now, Atom's is at least as good as Sublime's was then.
