According to Sune Foldager:
The disadvantage of atomic saves (for some), is that the file gets a new inode-number each time which will break hard-links and might upset aliases if they are not pointing correctly.
The advantage is that with GNU arch/bazaar which use hard-linking to a central revision library (to speed up access and avoid wasting space) you can use TM. When one modifies a given file, in that case you MUST break hard links.
Yes, for some it's good that it breaks, for some it's bad :-p.
