Thanks for replying. I asked because so much people say "If you're serious about development then you need a serious editor: you should learn vim/Emacs because it's a once in a lifetime investment that will boost your productivity beyond what other tools provide". This mantra doesn't match my own experience. I think Atom and VSCode provide 3 main advantages over vim: the out of the box experience is better; using a GUI offers a more powerful user interface; extensions are easier to install and work better. It's like comparing fish and zsh: Atom and VSCode are more like fish; vim and Emacs are like zsh.
