To be clear on why Visual Studio Code is better, there are between 20-25 people working on it at Microsoft[0]. Both Sublime Text and TextMate, the editors that were replaced before GitHub and Microsoft got in this game, were largely written and maintained by a single developer. So there's your answer about why they're better. They have a gigantic order of magnitude more resources poured into them, and they're free.
