Even though Atom was much "lighter" than VS Code in terms of UI, VS Code had so much more development resources thrown at it that it was ultimately much speedier than Atom. IIRC, even Brackets was faster.
I see people complaining about the death of Atom, but in the past few years there just hasn't been a use case where Atom was the best choice.
- deeptote 4y agoSeriously, who actually uses Atom anymore? Before VSCode was a thing, I used it but then I got into Vim, Neovim, and now VSCode with the Vim plugin.
- sheepybloke 4y agoExactly. I used Atom for a while, but then it started getting so slow. My coworker mentioned I should try VSCode, and it did everything I wanted Atom to do but faster.
