Ditto. I was a huge atom fan when it came out. Being able to customize it with web tech that I already knew was exhilarating. Between jobs I wrote over 20 packages.
When I went back to work I was still using Atom but I didn't have the time to baby it. All my packages were slowly dying and I didn't have time to support them. The overall stability of Atom was bad if you didn't have time to identify and rotate out dying packages.
Then VSCode got far enough along for me to use it daily. I have found it to be very stable and have almost all features I want without plugins. Rectangular text selection, drag-drop text, etc. Being an IDE for Node sealed the deal. I haven't used Atom since.
