I interpreted "hackable" in this context to mean "personally customizable". Even if it's closed-source, that doesn't preclude an extension/library ecosystem from forming around the core Atom app, does it?

Those of us who've been around longer have seen this play out many times. Free software isn't just dogma, it's very practical self-defense.
