Wait, why? I use Atom on daily basis, don't have very strong machine, but I've never seen performance issues.

Compared with Sublime Text (what I used before VS Code) Atom was painfully laggy and slow.

Now if I was coming from a larger, probably Java, IDE? Yeah, I can see that Atom would look great.

Just wasn't for me. Glad you like it tho!
