Looks like Github has finally did an official release of that editor we all love to hate and generally be uncertain of. Except for me of course. I use vim. No one ever questions vim right? From the announcement:
Today we're proud to announce Atom 1.0. It's amazing to think Atom has only been out and available to the public for a little over a year. A lot has happened since then. Atom has been downloaded 1.3 million times, and serves 350,000 monthly active users. The community has created 660 themes, and 2,090 packages including can't-live-without packages that have their own mini communities like the linter, autocomplete-plus, and minimap.
In the 155 releases since launch, the editor has improved immensely in performance, stability, feature-set, and modularity. The editor is faster in scrolling, typing, and start-up time. Atom now has a Windows installer, Linux packages, and several heavily requested features have been added like pane resizing and multi-folder projects.
Editor: Are there any Atom users amongst our community - what makes it your editor of choice?

I tried it a few weeks ago, hated it. Really didn't like the interface or layouts.
I'll be sticking with Notepad++.

It seems it was intended so that the developer is in complete control of the editor.
Evidently it failed in your case. Maybe complete control doesn't make reconfiguring it easy enough. Or maybe control isn't complete enough yet.

Sorry, you forgot to leave insert mode first.
