Atom 1.12 released

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.
