Black nav does feel very enterprisey.

The scroll-jacking is massively frustrating.

Feels pretty messy.

Lets build iOS apps which look completely foreign to iOS. Nice work guys. I sincerely hope Apple starts rejecting any submissions that use frameworks like this.

Client payload for that would be massive. :|

I love this app, but wasn't impressed with how resource intensive it is (being built on chromium/electron). Massive download size, uses tons of ram, fairly excessive energy usage for a mail app.

Chromium is great for something like Atom where heavy user customization is inevitable, but I'm not convinced it makes sense for a mail client. A leaner native experience like Sparrow/Airmail/etc seems a better fit.

Oh nice, I'll be keeping an eye on this one then ;)

Looks amazing. Is this a native app or running in a Chromium shell?

My main issue with Nylas N1 is that it's such a resource/energy hog. Native apps like Sparrow and Airmail are pretty lean by comparison, it does help to conserve battery life a little bit.

An IDE really doesn't seem like the appropriate place for material design to me, the white-space is way overkill.

The tabs in particular are wasting tons of vertical space and unnecessary for a non-touch UI. The target market for Atom will either be accurate with a mouse/trackpad or using ⌘+P for selecting files.

Of course, I have a strong preference towards a compact and efficient layout for Atom, this is the style I'm using: http://i.imgur.com/FqcPk9l.png

The top left logo also changes based on the active project.

The letter-spacing ends up all wonky in Chrome with .SFNSText.
