I don't think atom is targeted towards those that are very happy with vim or similar. I'm thinking it's more aimed towards those using sublime or notepad++ or textmate or netbeans or some eclipse based ide.

It's targeted to the huge amount of people who are becoming programmers just now.

Github is already a key component of how many people develop software. Expanding to an editor is going to make GH the essential toolchain.

sublime and notepad++, sure. I doubt, though, that they think they're going to move many away from using a full-blown IDE like NetBeans, Eclipse, Intellij, etc.
