Despite Atom's shortcomings that everybody knows about, I really like it and use it frequently. It has a huge number of high quality plugins (and some not so high). That said, eventually I see myself moving to vscode. Text editors are meant to be opened and closed frequently, unlike an IDE. So I typically will have atom opened for various tasks, but will use vscode to "check out" a file. vscode is also written in typescript and something that I'm very interested in. I'd probably move to vscode for a bunch more tasks if it had a decent vim plugin. In some kind of ideal world, vscode could use atom plugins, but I know that's probably a recipe for disaster with huge instability issues. I'd really love for Atom and VSCode to actually come together one day in the not too distant future. I think it makes sense to pool resources in the "Electron editor app" ecosystem. But congratulations to the Atom team, nonetheless. When things work, it's a very pleasant experience....especially considering the technical roots it comes from.
