actually I was expecting a comment on that one :) don't you think the time frame narrows on predicting the future on topics like these -web, desktop or mobile applications-?

I am not arguing that Sublime Text is the best -because I am not that pro-, but I can assure you it is hot right now, all around the world. It may be wrong, but all cs students and developers I personally know in 4-5 countries use it, like it. Most of the online courses tell their students to use it. It is highly recommended, all over the web.

The word is spreading.

I think, in the long run -3 to 5 years-, Jon Skinner -Sublime Text- will be leading, like now. I can clearly see his passion and investment in his product.

People at GitHub are also great, well funded, but this is not their core product. Do they have a leader -I don't know if they have or not- who will be focusing only on this product and keep up with jskinner?

I am sure Atom will be around for long years, as well as Sublime Text. Thanks to GitHub, I am looking forward to give it a try.
