As I recall, Github was making money from day one, and has been profitable for nearly as long. I'm sure that fact has contributed significantly to the quality of their products thus far. The business model around a desktop application is bound to be different from the web services, and probably isn't even finalized yet. I'm just looking forward to trying it out to see if I like the editor or not. That bar is high enough, given that I'm pretty comfortable with my workflow as it is. To expect that something this new will be polished enough to make me alter my day-to-day process, but do so without any viable business model, seems rather unlikely. A free/open version would be great, but I'll feel better about adopting it if the project is clearly profitable.
