Customization is a lot easier. In atom, I can easily tweak plugins that I install. Also, theming is done using less/css. In VS Code, theming isn't done via CSS and that makes things a lot more difficult.

The VIM plugin for Atom is a lot more feature rich than the VS Code version.

The VIM plugin in VSCode is atrocious. I use VIM a lot so I'll be going back to ATOM after today's non-sense. FYI, Ive been using VSCode for several weeks. I also like the settings UI better and the packages and themes UI better in ATOM.

I'm curious which plugin you used, and why you didn't like it?

VSCodeVim is atrocious in handling multiple cursors

amVim does it better, but is missing ; for repeating the last t or f command

I really love the vim-mode-plus on atom. It is excellent in many ways (especially how it interacts with Atom's multi-cursor support): https://atom.io/packages/vim-mode-plus
