It's not.

It's based on Electron: http://electron.atom.io/

Wrong. It is!

Look at the VSCode-linux-x64.zip in dir "\resources\app\server\" there is a "monaco.impl.js". It's the "monaco" editor component that comes from Switzerland that is also used in Visual Studio Online.

Electron is just what lets you run a Node app outside of a browser.
