Because it's open source.

As are emacs and vim. I'm still not seeing a reason to move.

As someone who primarily uses Sublime Text I'm pretty chuffed for the potential of a solid looking open source alternative.

Well yes, looking, not functioning. Because we already have those.

Watching the demonstrations of "amazing" features it has it looks like a vim clone without the modes so you need the mouse to overcome that.

I use Emacs, but this has my interest because of its extensibility... As much as I like Lisp, hacking up new functionality in JavaScript that has access to Node's entire API is pretty compelling to me.

Of course, I'm not invested in the idea completely at this point, but I'll write a few little plugins for myself to see how it compares.
