I concur with both and I made the switch along then because my atom was unbearable (although heavily loaded with probably unneeded extensions).

But VS Code has been a smooth experience since then.

I only brought it up because it certainly played a role on github having no longer a reason to invest resources in it having a better alternative being also developed in-house. And I also recall from other HN threads, much vocal users asking GitHub CEO about it, and why he stated just after the acquisition that Atom would be maintained even as Microsoft owning Github from there on... Which didn't happen.
