MS poured developers at VS Code which resulted in it blowing away Atom pretty soon in terms of performance. Soon devs started migrating to VSC, plugin ecosystem started accreting, and gradually people just forgot about Atom. It is not that Atom did anything horrendously wrong. If the same dev effort had been put into it that VSC got, am pretty sure it could've become almost as good now. Maybe even better in certain respects.
