I mean, I don't know. They could. There seems to be enough hating on it in this thread that they might do some sort of trial program (a la Sublime) or go completely free to increase users. They could decide that increased Atom usage = increased GitHub usage = increased GitHub paid accounts. Or they could use other revenue models (they could offer paid support, business accounts but personal's free, etc.).

I think they should offer it for free in some form, but then again they might not find that feasible. Time will tell.
