You are being downvoted because your point is pretty much irrelevant for most people.

Clearly this is about comparing the editors. Analytics is orthogonal to that. If you want to talk about the costs and benefits of Google Analytics them I'm sure there's another thread where it is more relevant.

Igglyboo's comment is probably downvoted because they don't "seem similar" at all beyond the idea that they both work with code.

Not when it's included in the editor as a default[0]. If we want to strictly compare editors then we should talk about Codemirror instead of LightTable. This point is really moot. I've used both Atom and LightTable and while I'm not going to argue about the pros and cons of either (I ditched Atom for various reasons), even just thinking about putting some Google web tracking device as an opt-out (instead of opt-in) really makes me abhor Atom.

You can disagree with me and you can prefer Atom over LightTable, it's all good, however downvoting because you don't like simple statements that are true won't make them any less true.

Downvoting because of irrelevance is reasonable IMHO.
