VSCode isn't slow. Atom is slow.
Since both are written with electron the difference must obviously be the actual implementation, not the platform itself.
Keep in mind VSCode was written by Microsoft who have decades of experience writing IDEs and text editors, whereas Atom was written by GitHub who are mostly working on the GitHub product.
