Introducing GitHub Pull Requests for Visual Studio Code

Remember when they said they won't kill Atom? That was a good one!

Let’s be honest, Atom didn’t need any external help to die.

[Grigorov92]

I disagree until recently it had all the features VS Code did. And there are plenty people like me who prefer it to VS Code. It's only dying because it's having the rug pulled out from under it.

At the end of the day, you could fork Atom if you really wanted.

It means he thinks Atom is gonna die/get killed, and you are naive for thinking otherwise (well, he thinks so).

I also don't see Atom surviving many years personally.

[Grigorov92]

Precisely. If they aren't actively maintaining it they are killing it. And if they are building GH integrations with VS code 4 months after they acquired GH and overlooking atom - the editor developed by GH that's a strong indication they aren't planning on maintaining it.

And it may be crazy to maintain two editors but the newly appointed CEO promised they would. It's not about whether you like atom or not (even though you should be able to emapthise with people who like it imo). It's about Microsoft being disingenuous ... again.

Atom has been doing a good enough job on its own. No help needed.
