The big reason I still use Atom is that it's both more visually customizable (VS Code is somewhat locked to its core layout) and that it BY FAR has the best ESlint support. VS Code is nice, and definitely faster, but it just has rougher support for addons at this point, and is just a worse UX for more complex integrations. In general I use Sublime when I need fast editing of a one-off script, or basic work on things. I use Atom for JS development, and VS Code for the rest. If Atom was faster for starting up and handling larger projects, I'd much prefer it, but for now, I make due with VS Code. Really, one of my biggest gripes with all of them, and VS Code especially, is that the addon ecosystem has a serious discoverability problem. If I want to find a new theme, or find a new addon for a specific language or whatever, it's much easier in Atom than almost anywhere else. When one of them fixes that, I'll be happily in on it.
