I could not agree more, this is why every time I try atom I go back to sublime, that's really only one example of many - there's a massive difference between javascript 'desktop web app frames' and native applications written in ObjC/Swift/QT etc... between the terrible perceived(?) latency of javascript apps and the memory usage to be honest I just delete the app and find something else when I come across them.

I put off even looking at VS Code for a while because of the poor performance of Atom. But when I tried it, I was really surprised at how much faster VS Code was.
It's changed my opinion of electron based programs.

I had the same experience... after atom and brackets, I was like, sure... I installed it to make fun of it... but it actually ran well. It's been my daily driver ever since, and better with each release.
The integrated terminal is far and away my favorite feature, second would be the git+diff integration... though merging/rebasing needs a good story.
