IMO, VS Code is everything Atom should have been and/or is trying to be.

It’s the first editor I’ve used since the original TextMate that worked well straight out of the box, is easily configurable for 95% of customization needs, and has high-quality extensions that don’t feel like they’re all conflicting with one-another.

I don’t know if Atom has gotten any better in the past year, but it never quite felt right to me. Lack of polish and care, I guess. VS Code had me a convert from day one.
