Don't discount the benefit of a few men, trying to build a business. Doing dedicated work for Open Source is amazing, and very honourable. However, as the ATOM team grows, so does the overhead, the documentation requirements, and group thought. Sublime going lean and closed source might make things more competitive then you think.

Except for the whole fact that they are incredibly slow. Sublime has had major issues with consistent releases and complete silence from the owner with regards to updates.

Yes, but that's the point of Will Bond joining. He will be a developer actively dedicated to new releases.

"I'd also like to welcome prominent community member and Package Control mastermind Will Bond to the Sublime HQ team."

Or he's getting paid to manage packages. Your point makes assumptions not backed up by evidence.
