Why another GraphViz previewer?

Because I needed one.

There is an other atom package for GraphViz. It is in dire need of maintenance (e.g. it doesn't work very well in Atom versions > 1.0.0), but seems to be abandoned - last activity is from May 2016.

GraphViz preview+ takes a more 'Atom-native' approach to integrating GraphViz. This should make your GraphViz editing experience in Atom more pleasant. Live rendering and svg export work out of the box; engine switching, exporting to other formats and a lot of potential future features are easy to implement, usually with just a few lines of code.
