Yes. As the comment you’re replying to said, “Both using Electron does not mean they share a codebase, not in the normal sense of the phrase.” Code is no more a “rewrite of Atom that reuses a big chunk of the original codebase” than Slack is.

“both using Electron" refers to a period of time that occurs after "Atom has served as the foundation for the Electron" and my quote states that Atom -> Electron -> Spark

I'm not an expert on this at all, I'm just quoting, but Spark is being used rhetorically as if it's an outlandish to consider it to be a descendent
