I consider this entry to be Microsoft's opinionated response to the wild success of Atom.

They used the same basic software stack to make a very similar editor, and with a SLIGHTLY different result!

vsCode lacks the large file handling issues of Atom, and is less customizable, and with a slightly less robust plugin community...

The ability to edit a large file and scroll without stuttering however is enough to outweigh what I consider shortcomings.

For this reason, i switched to vsCode from Atom in 2019.
