I haven't found Absynth 3 to be particularly useful, but that may be due in part to my lack of investment in time to really learn how to play with it. It comes with lots of presets, many of which I would put more in the category of sonic effects vs musical instruments. Lots of dark, shimmering, vaporous, cataclysmic, clangorous, ethereal, metallic, soundscapes that are likely very well-suited for mood-evoking film scoring projects. It's possible to generate some profoundly wicked and downright scary sounds with Absynth, that frequently scare the shit out of my wife (my little studio is in the extra room next to our bedroom).

I've never played Atmosphere, so I can't compare.
