With the atom atom executable now located in /usr/bin instead of /usr/local/bin, it should always be available as part of the system PATH. Thus hardcoding the filepath is not needed. Also, this increase the flexibility of relocating the rpm at installation time (not just build time) since the user or sys admin need only make sure that the atom executable is in the system PATH and the atom.desktop file will work correctly.
Atom is a hackable text editor for the 21st century, built on atom-shell, and based on everything we love about our favorite editors. We designed it to be deeply customizable, but still approachable using the default configuration.
