Even if you don't like MS or distrust them, seriously... VS Code is a very good spiritual successor to TextMate. It has better performance characteristics for me than Atom, and I find extending it much less intimidating than Atom. I'm still more comfortable with Emacs keys, but I found it easy to add the emacs keys I miss. Its license is such that even if MS abandons it I suspect the community will keep it going. So give it a try.
