VS Code and Atom aren't really comparable for performance. VS Code is much, much smoother and closer to the experience of Sublime.

> or example latest StackOverflow survey, showed that Notepad++, Vim and Sublime combined are used much much more than VScode and Atom combined

By this metric Notepad++ and Visual Studio (not Code) are the best editors because they topped out of every category (except Vim for Sysadmin / DevOps). If you look at the "Desktop Developers" tab, Visual Studio Code is actually in 3rd place behind Visual Studio and Notepad++. With Vim and Sublime a few rows down and Atom even further.

There's no way in hell Visual Studio (not Code) is faster than Vim, but how come it dominates it in all but one categories?

You should also sum all the procentages of Intellij based IDEs there, then VSCode is one place down

My whole point is that "most used" is a terrible, terrible metric for anything except for most used.
