I just tried it out and the UX is ridiculously broken for me. Whenever I try to focus one of the Git or Github panes, the content of the panes completely vanishes, since I'm unfocusing the file the content was about.
I'm not sure if a stronger focus on git/GitHub is a step into the right direction for Atom users. I'd strongly recommend to provide a choice. Why not other VCSs, why not other platforms? We get it, Atom is GitHub's pet toy. But never assume it will be forever. Remember Sourceforge and CVS?

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.

I've been a vim user for a long time. I switched to Atom despite its slowness because I finally get linter and autocomplete integrations that just work. Those have always been a pain to set up for me in vim, and when you are switching between machines all the time, that quickly becomes tiring.

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.
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.
I tried it, because I'm trying to convince a colleague to use markdown and git for a collaborative project. This person lives mainly in the MSword world, so I thought atom might be a good choice. In testing it, I found the git interface was simple for me, having used git for years and therefore knowing what "staged" means. However, the interface will be confusing for my colleague. It would be great if the atom folks…
If this means that PR comments can now be displayed in-line from the editor, I am switching from Sublime Text. I bought ST3 outright, but I'll switch in a heartbeat to display comments and feedback.
