The harm is that every time there's an Atom post, most comments are about how much it sucks compared to VSCode, and always from the point of view of memory footprint, and size. I have both GB of memory, and GB of HD space.

It seems more like discussion just for the sake of it, then because of actual, real-life problems.
My laptop isn't even amazingly powerful, and I constantly have 3GB to spare despite the fact that I run many random apps and almost never restart it.
As a developer, I don't see what the problem would be if my main tool occupied even 2GB of memory (and we're talking about 500MB-1GB in most cases).
I never heard any graphic designer complaining about Photoshop occupying 10GB of memory for a logo (which happened to me a few hours ago).
