I'm interested in what differs from atom about VSCode in your opinion. ~~Wasn't VSCode a fork of atom originally?~~ edit: apparently not! When I was picking between the two about 5 years ago, they seemed almost identical to me
I'm personally not a big fan of heavy IDEs like the jetbrains products, so VSCode being lighter than pycharm (or any of the IDEA products) is a bonus to me.
Look at Atom community. Speed to load is night and day.
For me, Vscode feels like a cheaper pycharm which is my primary IDE and wouldn't change as I've tried vscode as an alt and it wasn't good enough for how I work.
Fair play, everyone's different, I work with another guy who swears by the jetbrains stuff, but it just seems very clunky to me every time I've tried it.
I'll have to give atom another look then, though I'd say VSCode starts in about a second on my machine, so startup time alone probably wouldn't be a reason for me to switch
