There&#x27;s a sweetness to that sentiment, but I think it&#x27;s misplaced. I mean, Jon Skinner has technically been working on this thing for over a decade. It&#x27;s this guy and a couple other people polishing it for years; saying it&#x27;s like Microsoft is like calling git-annex just another Dropbox.<p>And don&#x27;t forget: this is a product and a business. If someone comes up to eat your lunch, you can roll over and die or adapt and improve. We&#x27;ve come a bit full circle in the Complaints Department here: when Atom was first coming out, a vocal lot decried it was just a Sublime Text rip-off picking on the little guy. Turns out it&#x27;s a pretty good editor! Sublime&#x27;s got a few updates and it&#x27;s just perfunctorily playing catch-up? Well, I liked it before, and now it&#x27;s better, so... I think that&#x27;s pretty good.
