#12Bundling 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.

#15I 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.

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

#16This looks like it's going to be neat! But why does it come bundled by default [1], instead of an optional package? [1] https://atom.io/packages/github

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.

#20This 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.
