Interesting, considering they don't talk about atom (https://github.com/atom https://github.com/atom) at all lately. Maybe they would stop developing it and contribute to VSCode instead? Is there anything atom has over VSCode?

Treesitter[0] maybe? Although that may also be built into VS Code too, I've just never seen it mentioned anywhere. 0. https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter

  Treesitter is used heavily behind the scenes at GitHub for things like their secrets scanning and other code analysis.

  VSCode uses extensions to do language parsing and you can fairly easily use TreeSitter in a VSCode language extension. I have done and it works very well.

Atom isn't really being developed anymore, as this 1 year window shows: https://public-001.gitsense.com/insights/github/repos?q=window%3A365&r=github%3Aatom%2Fatom&v=repo https://public-001.gitsense.com/insights/github/repos?q=wind... In the last year, there were only 73 contributors with the vast majority of contributors making very small changes. Compare this to vscode: https://public-001.gitsense.com/insights/github/repos?r=github%3Amicrosoft%2Fvscode&v=repo https://public-001.gitsense.com/insights/github/repos?r=gith... with 389 contributors with over 20 contributors working on it pretty much full time.
