Have you tried Atom since they shipped version 1.0? It's been sped up a LOT.

However, I don't really think that this topic has much to do with React / Meteor, as Meteor is a full-stack web-solution, Atom is a desktop text-editor built with web technologies (and specifically React)... It's like saying my Ferrari goes faster than your boat, yup, on land.

Well I think it's a different - my app really only deals with very simple form inputs and interactive views, there's no performance issue to think of. Text editors deal with file systems, buffers, displaying text, plugins, a bunch of other things.

That being said, I get two threads inherently as a result of the client-server separation, and on the Meteor server you can properly parallelize the work as a result of its Node foundations.

Why do you ask about Atom performance?

Not sure if I understand the reasons, BTW FYI they recently stripped off react in favor of plain DOM for performane reasons: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9117028
