IMO, VS Code is everything Atom should have been and/or is trying to be.
It’s the first editor I’ve used since the original TextMate that worked well straight out of the box, is easily configurable for 95% of customization needs, and has high-quality extensions that don’t feel like they’re all conflicting with one-another.
I don’t know if Atom has gotten any better in the past year, but it never quite felt right to me. Lack of polish and care, I guess. VS Code had me a convert from day one.
- braderhart 9y agoToo many people in here running PR for Microsoft. VS Code is just as terrible, if not worse, than Atom.. and built using the same bloated framework.
- bdcravens 9y agoI haven't had that experience - I've found VS Code to be much smoother than Atom, but obviously that may vary by platform and the particular set of plugins any one user has.
