I also use Atom, and just can't seem to garner an affinity for VS Code. I came from a .NET background, so I've struggled with Visual Studio and Nuget for years, and it left a bad taste in my mouth. I'm also probably just used to using Atom for my Node development. But aside from finding out very quickly on here that I'm wrong for using it, I don't find anything difficult. I've built many successful projects with it.
Also, Nintendo kicks Sega's ass.
I love VSCode from a technical standpoint. They have clearly picked a better architecture when it comes to performance, and they have done a pretty damn good job at showing that a web-based application doesn't need to be a "slow resource hog", but on the other hand I MUCH more prefer Atom's policy of "plugins are everything" over VSCode's "Core should do everything, and plugins are second class".
But at the end of the day, it's a choice, and i'm glad we have competition to keep everyone on their toes!
I totally agree, I wish there was 50 viable choices. Competition is good, look at our ISP situation.
Same here. I get funny looks for using Emacs at work. I tell people that I've done all of my best work with Emacs for 20 years, and the only way to get me to change is for management to implement a standard, required tool suite.

Your not "hitting the issues" because a lot of them are philosophical, so if you don't care, you just don't care. I also did not care for a long time, now I do care and I get to hold that over your head. The more you know, the bigger jerk you are allowed to be :)
I'm mainly a javascript/php developer that uses Windows and Atom... I'm used to being told I'm wrong. But at the end of the day, these are the languages, platforms, and operating systems I get the most done with, and I just don't seem to hit the issues everyone keeps saying I will.
