How dare they collect usage data to improve their free product!!!
It's not free (as in speech nor beer). Unless something has changed (I haven't been following), it will become paid after the beta period is over.

I believe that the final product isn't going to be free - so that changes the landscape of the argument. Then again, maybe they won't have analytics in that version.
Note: I'm not making a comment on it being a paid for app - they've released bucket loads of open source code they wrote to create the editor. For that they should be praised.

Notice the other comments set the user agent - to one I assume is used by the app itself when it does auto updates. You probably need to set that: -A "Atom/0.1 CFNetwork/1.5
true I forgot to paste it back, same difference though:

It doesn't matter whether it is free or not. My only aim was to provide information that might be relevant for some people interested in trying out Atom (admittedly I mixed this information with my personal position towards Google and the ever-present tracking aka surveillance) so that they know the implicit price of its usage.
You are free to use Atom or anything else, but you should always have as much information available as possible to correctly judge what you pay for any given thing.

Imagine someone posting the url to access your commercial product because your dev didn't secure the download. And you have control over the post. What would you do then? And Github can delete anything they want. If anyone has problem with that, they sure can sue Github.

Like I said - I get that.
Also, like I said - it seems underhanded that they just reach into an account and delete gists
