The tabs are the thing that reminds me most of ST but they are practically just Chrome's tabs -- everything else isn't particularly distinctive and seems standard for a text editor.

At the least seems like there will be a paid version: https://github.com/atom/welcome/blob/master/lib/welcome.md

#8As was speculated in the other thread the beta looks like it will be closed, there's a "request and invite" form on the page.
Others noted that the source mentioned "free during beta", I certainly hope that's not the case and it's truly FOSS. Sublime Text development has slowed significantly recently and the community can't continue to drive it since it's closed.
Funnily enough, Sublime Text was born out of Textmate development slowing, and I can't seem to shake that vibe here too.

Text editors appear to be approaching a design ideal. At least, for the ways we currently use them.
