Maybe it boils down to npms? Atom is using `dugite` npm for git, which takes more than 40MB alone, babel-* packages are probably above 50MB and silly things like emoji-images >11MB... but to be honest VSCode must be taking more space than that, maybe they're keeping npms outside of the main app because electron framework itself takes 167MB on the current Atom so technically you can't get below that.
