Atom gets a 9 because of the Welcome guide thing that keeps coming up. (I should just turn it off.)

Usability

I give Atom a 9 because it is one of the most modern text editors built with JavaScript intentionally to allow the editor to be changed and modified with custom functionality that a team may need. I think I would otherwise give atom an 8 due to support, but it gets a 9/10 because of the extensibility/plugin capability.
