> Microsoft for all intents and purposes killed Atom
I don't think so. When VS Code came out my reaction was "Wow! It's like a 1.0 version of Atom!" I.e. an electron (or similar) based editor that works, whereas atom always seemed like a beta release. I tried to use atom a bit but it came with little out of the box and the plugin ecosystem was a complete mess. I filed an issue asking if obsolete/dead plugins could be somehow removed from the plugin repository, but nothing came of it.
Atom wasn't killed, it died on its own.
