Code is not based on atom, it's based on Electron, which is the runtime (node+webkit without the UI chrome). VSCode has lower typing latency and a more considered system for building / debugging / code completion. Atom has a richer plugin api and has been around longer so it has more plugins. I've done basic plugins for both and plan on using/developing for VSCode but I've been too lazy to write Vim bindings and not willing to use the editor without them.

Nitpick, Electron is Node + Chromium (not webkit).

You may want to try my vim extension for VSCode - amVim. It works best on VSCode's insiders build now. I'm planning a big update as soon as VSCode releases 1.0(which is said to be 4/14)

  Thanks for making amVim. It's the only usable vim extension right now. It's a shame you aren't being featured on the marketplace

    Glad you like it. I'm using it everyday at work. I implemented all commands I use regularly and make sure they work well.
