Yes, because of Atom many developers probably won't be giving money to e.g. Sublime Text or any other commercial alternative.
This is why good tools are only available to enterprise customers, the only ones willing to pay for their tools, just like in other professions.
There is nothing in Atom that I can consider state of the art.
I don't use Atom but I'm glad it exists. It improves on state-of-art in some areas and that benefits everyone.
