It is built on Electron Shell, but vscode is a lot more than a preselected set of plugins for Atom. Most of vscode was written from scratch in TypeScript or assembled from existing (non-Atom) parts. The editors don't really share code.
- murukesh_s 11y ago+1 vscode is just using Electron Shell, not entire Atom. vscode is a well executed project. During initial testing vscode seemed much more responsive than Atom to me.
- thebouv 11y agoYeah, VSCode definitely seems more responsive. I tried giving Atom a try 2-3 times now, but it always seemed "laggy" for lack of a better word.
- philliphaydon 11y agoI can crash Atom pretty consistency, especially with semi large projects. VS Code I haven't managed to crash at all.
