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.
Why use one of those half baked solutions when vim already exists?
I hope that this won't break existing Git plugins, and won't limit Git functionality for non-Github based repos.

The game has changed over time. They originally intended to charge for Atom. Then it became arguably the best free option, until VS Code came along.
I think a lot of us have moved from Atom/Sublime over to VS Code these days. Seems like lots more momentum and gobs of useful plugins that let me do my work.

Because Atom was created by Github I persume.
So they should ship it as a promotional tool?
It's kinda the same deal with GNU Emacs which bundles a whole bunch of stuff that is directly related to the GNU project.
Really at the end of the day it's a fork away to shipping with SVN,CVS,mercurial,gitlab or whatever.
I can't get into Atom, the load time vs something like sublime is just too slow. Am I doing something wrong in the settings?

I guess this is the IDE crowd? Us vim guys are still raising eyebrows when people say "best free option" :)
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.

Atom with a few extensions installed takes it to a drag. I went through timecop a hundred times to speed it up and finally gave up.
