I takes "ages" to start up, meaning it interrupts my workflow. I like vscode, but startup time for the app and for new windows is terrible (~2 seconds) and it's one reason why I still prefer sublime for anything that doesn't have significantly better language plugins in vscode.

I so very rarely close Atom, and generally don't use multiple windows in a single app, that those slowdowns never really bite me. It'd be interesting to see their analytics to see how often people actually hit these things in practice.
