No mention of supported platforms, but the documentation refers to keyboard shortcuts like "cmd-shift-P". This isn't Mac-only, is it?
Of course it's crossplatform. It works on OSX Mavericks and Snow Leapard!

No, just normal developer monoculturalism. Same as showing only Mac screenshots that is common, or showing your website inside a Macbook, etc.
To be fair, would most people know what super-shift-P means? That said, it would be fairly simple to have a variable for super that resolves to ctrl/cmd on other platforms, the same way that most download pages nowadays infer your platform and show you the binary you most likely want.

It's built on node-webkit and chromium, which technically works on Windows, OSX and Linux. Do you seriously think they would make an OSX only editor when there's already so many that work on all platforms?
The download is only available for Mac today, but we are working on the Linux and Windows builds.
What other text-centric apps can be made better by a browser framework? Maybe the terminal?
This might make developing on chromebook viable.
Bracket is built on top of Code Mirror. It never feels like a native editor. If Atom is using a Webkit renderer for core editor part, I'm not gonna switch from Sublime anytime soon
What's the difference between this and Emacs?
On top of that I can be up and running with Emacs on a fresh install of just about any linux distro: install via the distro's package manager, drop in my configs, done.

I believe the main benefit is that it is much easier to customize/change/tweak.
I don't see a reason to take that as a given. This uses node, ST uses python. Sublime plugins have a huge amount of power and python is certainly not terrible to work in.
I'm blown away by how cool this is. I'm just really hoping for good Vim keybindings and I will pay good money for this once it's out of beta.
I am very excited about this, I love the Github team and this looks like a great tool. My only question is -- why should I switch to this from Sublime Text? Are there specific use cases it handles better out of the box, or is it more of a modular base that will be expected to grow and outfeature ST2/3's seasoned plugin economy? I am very happy with Sublime Text now, but I would be willing to switch if either it gaine…
