The .desktop file of Atom was named Atom.desktop but it should be renamed to atom.desktop because a .desktop should not contain capital letters as any other .desktop files in /usr/share/applications. Note that without that, it can be not easy to link the window with the .desktop file and then a dock/panel could not link a launcher with its window.
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.
