I’m using Vs Code pretty much exclusively for git commits. The reason is that it really quickly lets me review all my changes als diffs before committing. From time to time I find some stuff there which I added for debugging but which shouldn’t be pushed. I don’t think watching diffs in the console is a great experience. And other IDEs always felt more heavyweight in that regard.

> I don’t think watching diffs in the console is a great experience Depends on the console and on what you're used to. If you can maximize it in full screen and especially if the diffs are colored like git's, then it's a very pleasant experience. What I like about Atom is that it's not an IDE. It's an editor. If you want it to be an IDE, then you can add language specific plugins that turn it into an IDE. Even the integrated git/github plugin is useless to me because we're using fossil. In contrast, VS Code comes packed with features for Js/Ts which make it an IDE rather than an editor.
