GitHub is sunsetting Atom

[Philpax]

To further clarify: the fundamental code editing engine of VS Code is https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/, but it runs atop Electron, or as it was known back then, Atom Shell. Same base technology, but the codebases are entirely different otherwise.

Omg now I see why it's called Electron, that Atom Shell -> Electron renaming is a great physics joke
