I suspect the primary reason people like the fact that it's written in JavaScript is because a lot of people know JavaScript. That makes Atom eminently hackable.

Yeah, OK...but Sublime Text is eminently hackable in Python, and it doesn't get the same sort of rabid adoption from Python devs (it's popular, sure, but not more so than vi or emacs).
