So what is special about Atom? I have been using vi, vim, and sublime for most of my code, but still feel like its just another editor.
I know I haven't been using any of these editors to their fullest but I don't know what their potential is. Why should I care that it has thousands of plugins? The greatest thing I have noticed for all of these editors are the different fonts, colors, and automatic formatting depending on the language.
I want to know what you guys think are the best features of Atom.

Wow, what a fantastic editor.
I'm getting kind of an emacs vibe from it. mostly from the extensibility.

I'm very impressed by how responsive atom is, despite the fact that it's using web technologies.
