For me it just sounds like a stupid move. I might not have all the details, and I might be missing something. But I would expect some lone programmer or small team to try and commercialize a text editor. In some very rare cases a text editor today might be profitable for a very small team, because of people to afraid of VIM (vimps...). I would not have expected a bigger and more modern company like GitHub to try and make money off a text editor. It's like building an inferior mouse trap in a world of open source mouse traps. So how this strategy unfolds will be interesting to watch!
