A text editor switch is about the friction in daily work. List the Atom Community packages and shortcuts you actually use, then open a representative repository in each candidate. Edit across files, run search-and-replace, resolve a Git conflict, and preview any language tooling you depend on.
Measure startup and large-file behavior on your machine, not a benchmark video. Check whether project settings and keybindings travel to another device, and whether extensions receive the maintenance your workflow needs. A replacement need not mimic every Atom detail, but it should preserve the few actions that make coding feel fast and reliable.
