I dont get why people only discuss Atom vs Sublime. Is programming world in such a need for A vs B discussions again? There are probably at least 5 text editors for coding worth checking out.
There is Brackets as well, which I am using with no problem since 6 months. The core program has not failed to do its job even once during this time. No crashes, stellar performance.
So if you annoyed by Atom and not sure about Sublime and its cost - try Brackets. I bet you you will love it.
