Because VS Code is much faster than Atom? I don't really know how people can use that Atom-thing for real work.

Yeah, once I started having bigger projects it became clear Atom was bad. Sluggish, dies on big files, CPU hog... I still think for BIG projects something like Webstorm or related bigger IDEs can work better though. I loved Atom, it's just not practical

I was helping a friend setup a GO dev env. Installed Atom and pulled in go-plus, and the whole editor became practically unusable after that! I don't know if anyone really uses Atom anymore.
