Description

First, I tried to preview a coffee-script file and the preview panel took a really long time to load (showing a spinning wheel).
This delay is the same each time I close the preview and toggle it open again later.

This really looked like a symptom of a program waiting for a networked interaction (since I'm behind a pretty horrible proxy).

I didn't knew or understood the module was was actually sending files to a web service to be "processed" and/or was phoning home. I thought it would be a local conversion.

Havent checked if it actually does send files to the net, but I already see a problem in that it includes some forced analytics tracking...

You could probably make a note about what the plugin does "web wise". It would be fair to alert users about what you track and how you track it ;(

This sadly shows what Atom.io, being built using browsers stack, could lead to and ease...
