That’s an interesting point about Atom and VS Code. Do you think we’ll likely see Atom die in favor of VS Code?

- djsumdog 8y agoI'm starting to get really frustrated with Atom and it pegging my CPUs at 100%. I honestly don't see VSCode as that much better considering they're both bloated electron apps. I've started going back to Sublime, and found I missed some of the really helpful tools in Atom. I think the entire atom/vscode thing is going to be really curious should this acquisition go through. I'm going to guess they're going to keep running both teams; or really they'll probably keep running Github as it is.
- eric-hu 8y agoI switched to VSCode from MacVim. Up until I saw VSCode, I thought all electron apps were as bad as slack. I'm happy to report I've not experienced sluggishness from VSCode at all.
- 013a 8y agoI would put money on it if the merger goes through. There's very little reason for both to exist, and VSCode is absolutely a superior project. Atom has its advantages, but most of them could easily be manifested by collaborating with the Atom team and bringing those features in.
- Lordarminius 8y agoAtom is already dying imo. And if for a reason even a 5 year old can appreciate : it's simply too slow.
