Yes Proggit instead has a ton of posts about how this is shit and, "Why do I need this when I have [emacs/vim]?" when none of them have tried it.
The general population of HN seems to cares enough to upvote them (original post has 1300pts which is high) so either write an extension to block them or just ignore them and upvote other articles. GitHub has a lot of good will with people who read HN so of course articles about them will be popular. See: whenever GitHub goes down.
Same thing happens with bitcoins and pretty much any other popular topic.

With the risk of sounding like a prick, I share this sentiment. People who like to hack their editors already use vim/emacs. Those who don't, are happy with whatever they're using.
Sublime Text proved exactly how quick a closed source editor can fall out of favor with people. Its 3rd iteration wasn't even released, and you already hear as much complaint about it as praise.
