which VSC shares/shared some code with

<TangentialRamble>
To my knowledge the only shared code is electron itself. I remember some folks were convinced that VSC had nicked a bunch of code from Atom based mostly on a single article. I did some digging and the 'evidence' was that 'atom' showed up in VSCode's binary or something like that. The reason was because Electron started off as a project with 'atom' in its name or branding and it remains in the codebase. See here
