Yep, but you can disable it by disabling the 'metrics' extension.

  That's _after_ the first launch, correct?

    Couldn't you just disconnect from the web until Atom was installed and metrics are disabled?

      This is why I set windows firewall to disable connections by default and then opt programs in. Visual Studio tries to connect to the internet too.

    Not necessarily. You can set the property in your ~/.atom/config.cson before the first run. https://github.com/Couto/.dotfiles/blob/master/tag-atom/atom/config.cson#L11-L12 https://github.com/Couto/.dotfiles/blob/master/tag-atom/atom... in case you need an example

      It auto launches after installing in Windows.

      Example is appreciated, but not accessible. I personally use Little Snitch and stopped Atom from phoning back to Google Analytics, as I do with all the apps I use, but the comment I was replying to seemed to be shrugging off the data collection by saying "just turn it off" when the truth for most people is "it'll do it at least once but you can turn it off later"

  So the metrics collection is ON by default?
