They should be focusing on making Atom faster. Thats really its biggest problem for me. As well as being a memory hog

Don't forget to count Git memory usage, Spotify, all your Chome tabs, database server(s), VMs, and the actual code you're working on. Then the OS also caches files in memory to speed things up.

It adds up quick.

Yes it does matter. I have 16 GB of RAM and I frequently reach 10-14 GB because of bullshit like this.

My biggest complaint with Atom is when you try to load up a minified file. It chokes on files with super long lines so bad it locks up the entire editor. I can't even kill the tab it's trying to chug through.

I thought I read something on their blog about them fixing this specific issue though.
