I've been using atom for several months now, and i've never had a file take 30 seconds to open..

Granted all my devices use SSDs, but still for me it's been like 10 seconds at the worst, and currently it opens in like 3-4 (and i have about 30 plugins too)

I use may be 10 plugins. The speed is improved but still the startup time is so slow. May be I exaggerated a bit, but it will be definitely around 15-20 seconds for me.

You don't have to guess about the startup time – you can find the actual startup time by searching for Timecop in the Command Palette.
