I'd love to agree with the author, I really would... but GitHub put quite a bit of engineering talent and resources behind Atom (and Electron), and last I checked, that hasn't made them a single dollar. It's very clear the company does not simply prioritize resources based on immediate return. If they did, we surely wouldn't have the text editor that I've been addicted to for the past year.
