Ah, gotcha! I only tried it out once after finding it on flathub, but never used it enough to notice it being slow. Interesting how that developed.

I'm guessing it's pretty much dead now that github is under the same company that also makes vscode, right?

Given GitHub's Code Spaces use VSCode rather than Atom, that writing is definitely on the wall, it seems. (Arguably the feature was built for Azure and then rehomed to GitHub where it seems to fit better, but still a stronger indicator brand-wise than most of the other comparative statistics in Atom versus VSCode commit histories and GitHub/Microsoft employee contributions there to, which also seem to indicate that Atom is in maintenance mode.)
