Bundling these features by default is bad for Atom. It changes Atom from an editor to an advertisement. Maybe Github dwarfs the competition but boxing them out of the editor is unnecessary. This smells like bundling IE with Windows 98.

I find bundling Git support with Atom is a requirement, VSCode does it.

Of course, VSCode also supports TFS, Perforce, and Mercurial via extensions:

As long as they make it easy to hook up to a competing repository solution, like Gitlab, I'm fine with it.

I might just have to fork this and wire it up to the GitLab API... https://github.com/LestaD/atom-gitlab/issues/8

For what it's worth the plugin is using GitHub's GraphQL API.

GitLab is considering GraphQL.

It won't have much of an impact on a fork currently. It looks like the API is barely being used.

On the other hand this will Github an incentive to keep on improving Atom. Maybe someone has finally figured out how to monetize an editor. I hope so, cause the current ecosystem of editors is a mess of half baked solutions.

Monetizing an editor was a solved problem 40 years ago.

This looks like a fantastic development, but I worry about performance. Atom is already pretty sluggish, I would rather see performance upgrades before new features. Maybe they're not correlated.

Especially with the rapid adoption VSCode is seeing. This seems kind of like the wrong move at the wrong time for Atom.
