I used Atom for a while then switched to VSCode. Atom always felt a little "wrong" after Sublime. It works perfectly but there is this feeling of heaviness on all interfaces, scrolling etc.

VSCode works great, completely replaced both Atom and Sublime for me. Give it a shot sometime.

I know it doesn't add much, but ditto... I love VS Code as an editor... I work in Linux, OSX and Windows on pretty much a daily basis, having the same editor everywhere is a really nice thing. Freshly updated, and the plugin ecosystem keeps growing... even debugger support (that I've never actually used).

Latest update added an on-screen terminal view, which is definitely useful for a quick npm install, etc. Some of the "solution" stuff is a little clunky to get setup for a full project, but it's interesting the approach MS is taking on this compared to classic VS. Hoping it gets a bit better on integrated project tooling for the likes of getting some of the boilerplate setup. Seems that go, python, C#, JS and TS are very well supported (out of the box or via extensions).

I've also found the font rendering on OS X to be better (sharper/cleaner) in Sublime than Atom on a retina display.
