Yeah, since this is generally how things work in OS X it makes Atom feel quite ancient to me.

It's such a major step in the wrong direction to have to go back to trying to avoid shutting down applications/your computer since it's such a big hassle.

If I want save something I'll save it and if I want to close something I'll close it, just keep it "open" for me in the mean time.

Atom persist the workspace per directory.

   $ atom some/where/to/my/project
   # open files
   # close atom
   $ atom some/where/to/my/project
   # atom reopens everything I had open for that project

Much more sensible for me than the reopen every single project I had open last time.

This is incorrect: unlike Sublime, Atom does not persist unsaved files across restarts.

(If step (2) is "create new file", Sublime will preserve it, even if it's not saved.)

It does, just not for `untitled` files.
