Prediction: If VS Code is the general do-it-all editor, Atom will become the GitHub editor. Atom is quickly ramping up feature integration with GitHub — seen here with integrating review comments inline with the code and the deep GitHub PR integration in general. GitHub and Atom have a very linked future, with GitHub planning to become more involved with the actual code-writing process. Atom will be the conduit though which they achieve that.

I think you forgot who owns GitHub.

fyi, the GitHub PR extension[1] for VS Code has review comments in the editor. [1] https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/itemdetails?itemName=GitHub.vscode-pull-request-github https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/itemdetails?itemName=Gi...

VS Code has had excellent git integration for a long time, as well as GitHub-specific integrations through an extension. Atom may have started the move towards lightweight (relatively) IDEs, but VS Code is undoubtedly the more popular one. Honestly, when I saw this post on HN I was quite surprised to see that Atom is still actively developed - if there's anyone reading this that prefers Atom over VS Code, I'd really like to find out why?

  VS Code, like Python, seems to be the second best tool on everything: it looks good but not as much as Atom, it's fast but not like Sublime or Vim, it's a lightweight IDE but not a full IDE.

    I agree except for TypeScript and JavaScript - vscode is the best code editor I've experienced for both.

  Any thoughts on which is more friendly for (complex) plugin writing? I've been wanting to add multi-cursor modal focused features to an editor for a while and I've been debating which editor would be the best one to write for. Thoughts?

  > VS Code has had excellent git integration for a long time I don't agree. Last time I've checked vscode fails un some rather basic requirements, as for example vscode's file renaming functionality is entirely oblivious to Git which causes unnecessary problems to the user.
