> And that's exactly one of it's problems. It's not designed to be a damn text editor. Instead - it's just another "hipster editor". You can find a growing number of useless plugins, but can't open log file sent to you, or connect via proxy without a trouble.
since when do you need to edit log files? you don't need an editor for that, you need a log explorer. there are other tools for hat.
what exactly do you mean with proxy problems? i'm behind a proxy at work and didn't have any problems?

that thats its only real problem. especially if you're on a laptop without a power outlet nearby. i tend to just use vim in that situation notice a significant increase in battery life.

at least its fully extensible. i love the linting, auto-beautification, Markdown Preview, extensible autocompletion, useful autosave, Git-WIP support, extensive git integration and so much more.
its just not meant to be used as anything beside editing small code files. and most people don't have to code monolithic code files beyond a few MB in size.
Any time I want to re-hydrate escaped control sequences like newlines, or explore the log using a host of tools available in a text editor.
> at least its fully extensible
As are most text editors and IDEs. Atom's only difference here is that the extensions must be written in Javascript. Not everyone sees this as a good thing.

And that's the problem. Why should a user be forced ahead of time to consider their usecase for editing a file just to choose which gimped file editor they want to use?
