I'm an atom user, and it chokes for the very same reason.
However I also use vim for tweaking server side stuff, and use less by default whenever I want to read something (logs is an obvious one)...
This is both for speed but also UX, i believe vim style navigation (which less basically gives you), is great for reading and searching - what I cannot stand though is doing more than small edits in vim, for development (and i mean code is flying around like crazy stage of development, not read for 1 hour and make tweaks), then I am fastest with the kind of flexibility atom provides.
I know it can be tempting to have one tool for everything when it seems like the tools are supposed to be doing the same thing, but in my mind lean text editors tend not to compete with the big fat slow electron style editors - so just use them both, for their respective strengths.
