除了前面的回答之外，还有必要从开发过程中所做的选择的角度来澄清这两种产品之间的差异。

Sublime is binary compiled for the platform. Its core is written in C/C++ and a number of its features are implemented in Python, which is also the language used for extending it. Atom is written in Node.js/Coffeescript and runs under webkit, with Coffeescript being the extension language. Though similar in UI and UX, Sublime performs significantly better than Atom especially in "heavy lifting" like working with large files, complex SnR or plugins that do heavy processing on files/buffers. Though I expect improvements in Atom as it matures, design & platform choices limit performance.

The "closed" part of Sublime includes the API and UI. Apart from skins/themes and colourisers, the API currently makes it difficult to modify other aspects of the UI. For example, Sublime plugins can't interact with the sidebar, control or draw on the editing area (except in some limited ways eg. in the gutter) or manipulate the statusbar beyond basic text. Atom's "closed" part is unknown at the moment, but I get the sense it's smaller. Atom has a richer API (though poorly documented at present) with the design goal of allowing greater control of its UI. Being closely coupled with webkit offers numerous capabilities for UI feature enhancements not presently possible with Sublime. However, Sublime's extensions perform closer to native, so those that perform compute-intensive, highly repetitive or complex text manipulations in large buffers are feasible in Sublime.

Since more of Atom will be open, Github open-sourced Atom on May 6th. As a result it's likely that support and pace of development will be rapid. By contrast, Sublime's development has slowed significantly of late - but it's not dead. In particular there are a number of bugs, many quite trivial, that haven't been fixed by the developer. None are showstopping imo, but if you want something in rapid development with regular bugfixing and enhancements, Sublime will frustrate. That said, installable Atom packages for Windows and Linux are yet to be released and activity on the codebase seems to have cooled in the weeks before and since the announcement, according to Github's stats.

In terms of IDE functions, from a webdev perspective Atom will allow extensions to the point of approaching products like Webstorm, though none have appeared yet. It remains to be seen how Atom will perform with such "heavy" extensions, since the editor natively feels sluggish. Due to restrictions in the API and lack of underlying webkit, Sublime won't allow this level of UI customisation although the developer may extend the API to support such features in future. Again, Sublime's underlying performance allows for things that involve computational grunt; ST3's symbol indexing being an example that performs well even with big projects. And though Atom's UI is certainly modelled upon Sublime, some refinements are noticeably missing, such as Sublime's learning panels and tab-complete popups which weight the defaults in accordance with those you most use.

我认为这些产品是互补的。事实上，他们分享相似的视觉效果和按键只是增加了这一事实。在某些情况下，使用任何一种都有优势。目前，Sublime是一个成熟的产品，在所有三个平台上都具有相同的功能，并拥有丰富的插件集。Atom是新出生的孩子，他的五官会迅速长出来;它感觉还没有准备好生产，在性能方面有一些担忧。

关于这两个编辑器自撰写上述文章以来的改进说明。

In addition to bugfixes and improvements to its core, Atom has experienced a rapid growth in third-party extensions, with autocomplete-plus becoming part of the standard Atom distribution. Extension quality varies widely and a particular irritation is the frequency by which unstable third party packages can crash the editor. Within the last year, Atom has moved to using React by way of shifting reflow/repaint activity to the GPU for performance reasons, significantly improving the responsiveness of the UI for typical editing actions (scrolling, cursor movement etc.). While this has markedly improved the feel of the editor, it still feels cumbersome for CPU intensive tasks as described above, and is still slow in startup. Apart from performance improvements, Atom feels significantly more stable across the board.

Development of Sublime has picked up again since Jan 2015, with bugfixes, some minor new features (tooltip API, build system improvements) and a major development in the form of a new yaml-based .sublime-syntax definition (to eventually replace the old xml .tmLanguage). Together with a custom regex engine which replaces Onigurama, the new system offers more potential for precise regex matching, is significantly faster (up to 4x) and can perform multiple matches in parallel. Apart from colouring syntax, Sublime uses these components for symbol indexing (goto definition etc.) and other language-aware features. In addition to further speeding up Sublime, particularly for large files, this feature should open up the potential for performant language-specific features such as code-refactoring etc.. Further 'big developments' are promised, though the author remains, as ever, tight lipped about them.

我今天刚收到测试邀请，马上试用了亚当。GUI感觉像Sublime，是的，有一些捷径采用了Sublime。

除了上面提到的这些，我还发现了一些不同之处:

Vim mode is not as good as the Vintage mode on Sublime (which is not a fully featured vim either) because the vim package is in an early stage of development. See https://atom.io/packages/vim-mode for detail. As James mention, Atom is written using web tools, so you have access to the stylesheet of the text editor (styles.less) to do whatever appearance changes you want using CSS. There is also an option to change the startup CoffeeScript. Again, because Atom is still in the beta stage, Sublime has much more native plugin packages. However, since Atom is written in Node.js, the Atom official site said you can "choose from over 50 thousand in Node's package repository." (Because I am not a Node.js pro, I haven't look into this feature though) Atom has better Github support out of the box, but Sublime has a several Git packages. Sublime is a paid application unlimited evaluation period. Atom is free at the beta stage but we don't know whether Github wants to charge it or not.

因此，Atom是一个在测试阶段使用web技术构建的文本编辑器。相比之下，Sublime经历了许多不同的迭代。Atom仍然缺少很多Sublime支持的包，所以问题是Atom会赶上Sublime还是会变得更好?Github似乎对这个文本编辑器的未来很有信心，因为它的底层技术很受欢迎，从长远来看，Atom可能会是Sublime的一个很好的替代品。

除了前面的回答之外，还有必要从开发过程中所做的选择的角度来澄清这两种产品之间的差异。

Atom是开源的(到现在已经有几个小时了)，而Sublime Text不是。

Atom由Github创建，它包括“git感知”。这是我非常喜欢的功能:

它还突出显示了git树中根据提交状态改变了不同颜色的文件:

我在一个极端的环境下工作;编辑远程文件系统上的文件(外部网络，当然)，是安装在我的笔记本电脑通过ssh(aka。sshfs)。不管我为什么要这样做，尽管它的响应很麻烦，但当我使用Sublime Text 2时，它是相当可以接受的。

读了这篇文章后，我尝试了Atom，但结果对我来说有点痛苦;Atom似乎不能有效地缓存目录结构。每当我在树视图中展开一个文件夹时，UI会冻结一小段时间，2~3秒，可能是获取文件系统信息。是的，这是因为我正在使用远程文件系统。但是Sublime的处理效率更高，至少它不会在我每次展开文件夹时冻结，所以不那么痛苦。

我认为免费的Atom非常棒，我的故事很琐碎，有一天可能会被增强，但在这个时候它会对某些人有所帮助。

Recently, I changed my laptop from Macbook Air 2010 late to Macbook Pro 13" 2013 late. It has likely 4 times faster CPU and much enhancements in performance. I want to mention my opinion is about in the case WHEN YOU MOUNT REMOTE FILE SYSTEM. (using OS X Mavericks, most recent version of Atom, FUSE 2.7.3 / OSXFUSE 2.6.4 / sshfs 2.5.0, and remote system is Ubuntu server) Eventually, UI freeze gets pretty shorter, but it is still there. Specifically, to open a folder with many folder/files in it and index it is requires certain amount of time. Also, if you expand a folder full of files, it just falters. (when collapsing the folder, it doesn't)

根据@EliDuenisch的说法，这似乎不会发生在Linux Mint上。我不确定，但可能是因为操作系统之间的差异。当然，如果您在本地文件系统上工作，则完全不必关心这个问题。
