Congrats!

I started using Atom a year ago, but at that time it was very unstable and the performance sucks so I switched back to Vim.

This 1.0 still has something to pine for: some of the essential packages are still not updated for the 1.0 API (vim-mode, etc), and when processing large files it still slows down significantly, but as they say, it's now a good foundation to build upon.

View on HN

I get the impression that the large file issue isn't ever going to be fixed. Every time there's an update to Atom posted here on HN, and I ask about it, I get down voted into oblivion. It's a bummer too - I love the interface, I love the package, but the refusal to address opening large file makes it a non-starter for me. (No, I don't want to have two separate workflows for reviewing log files and writing code).

While I can't speak to all of your favorite packages, vim-mode is most definitely updated for 1.0 (it's very, very actively developed).

If you ever did any development on packages, you may have a development version laying around preempting things. Check in ~/.atom/dev/packages and remove old versions (or git pull them up to the latest dev version).

I had a super old version of tree-view for a long time this way. :)
