I actually prefer Atom to VSCode. I'll probably keep using it even after it's shelved by Microsoft.
What can it do what vscode can't do better?
Atom is very lightweight and has lots of plugins. VSCode is packed with features that just clog my workspace.
maybe you can use neovim or spacemacs then? It's also pretty lightweight and they focus on customizability.
