How does performance compare with VS code? How does Vim mode compare?

The vim plugins in atom completely blow VSCode's out of the water. It's split up into two packages ('vim-mode-plus' for most of vim, and 'ex-mode' for handling ex commands), but they work together very well.

In my experience (which certainly does not reflect everyone's), Atom wins in performance these days, too. Startup time is a bit slower, but once it's running it's quite snappy. It feels... less like a webapp than VSC does, if that makes sense.
