Still can't work with proxy without some magic tricks at my office.

Still slow as hell.

Not sure if it can open large log files (Atom crashed whenever you try to open pretty small log file, like 60mb or something)

etc.

I don't get why whould anyone prefer this to Sublime, to be honest.

How do you work with proxy? I can't install any extensions without manually downloading and installing.

You can set the http.proxy option in your settings.json. I have to use just "http.proxyStrictSSL": false because we MITM traffic and the bundled node doesn't check the windows cert store.

I can see the list of extensions doing this but trying to install gives "Server returned 407".

UPDATE: Turns out I have to include my username and password in the URL. I don't install extensions often so I will do this temporary when I do.
