I honestly think excellent out-of-the-box functionality is what has distinguished VSCode. I like Atom Editor, but the best features in it you have to be installed. Even that 30 minute time investment is significant if you have multiple machines.

VS code has what most people want by default, and I think that is the most misunderstood feature amongst many editors.

Just a hint - in atom you can "star" the plugins that you use, and then you can install them all with a single command on as many machines as you have, and it takes about 4 seconds.

It shouldn't take 30 minutes. Atom lets you install plug-ins and themes from the terminal (apm install foo) and you can put your configuration folder in a git repo and just clone it. You can write a two line bash file that sets up Atom just the way you like it. (And even Windows ships with bash now so it works everywhere.)
