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.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
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 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
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.

Performance has been a key focus of the last few releases. 1.17, the stable release also being released today, has a major jump: http://blog.atom.io/2017/04/18/improving-startup-time.html
