I use VS Code for about 3 years now. If you have questions, just ask. 😉
I really love how flexible it is. Performance is kind of dependent on which and how many extensions you install and the Electron platform, which I'm not a huge fan of, but nevertheless I'm very productive with this IDE and the possibilities with configurable keyboard shortcuts are just fucking awesome. -
mt3o19146yJetbrains, if looking for IDE. SublimeText if looking for a slick and fast tool.
All electron based contraptions shouldn't be called IDEs. -
I've been using VSCode for a couple years. Despite the fact that it is also an Electron app, it's actually pretty snappy. Atom is so slow in comparison.

Ximidar8526ySublime Text. Because I bought it before atom or vscode existed and it's been good to me. Really good to me.
-
olback109816yVS Code. Mostly because I like the extension community and the look and feel of it. Plus it's faster then Atom.

I've been using Atom since alpha. Yes, I like it. And yes, on Windows, VS Code definitely loads faster. When I'm on Linux, the loading time doesn't seem to matter. Also, in my case, I'm dual-booting and have a 1 TB SSD, so that definitely does make a difference.
And actually, about speed, it was definitely worse in the Alpha days. -
c2wiki3786yEmacs guy through and through. Way better than anything I’ve tried (including alcohol).

LuxARTS16636yI think you should use what you feel good from beginning. I use different IDEs for different purposes. For example, to program a firmware for STM microcontrollers I use True studio (Eclipse based), for a fast develop in microcontrollers Arduino is the best choice. For C/C++ projects I use CodeBlocks. Python and JS with VSCode if the project is large.
If I only need a script, test something or type an algorithm fast to use later I use SublimeText in Windows or CudaText on Linux. -
neofetch8216yNothing against VSCode as I've never even installed it, but I'm using Atom because of all the plugins I've gotten used to.
Muscle memory is a scary thing. -
sysvinit8586yHave so much free rams? run Chrome and Atom! I used atom more than a year ago, Editor is slow af (blame plugins? yeah my VS code is still slick with plugins).
-
Bubbles68266yMy usual/go to is definitely VS Code, but I use Sublime and Notepad++ on the side. I've used Atom and really enjoyed it, if I used it I would use it as a back up just in case VSCode or the others dont work.
-
VSCode, Atom is slow AF, Sublime is paid and has problems parsing jsx files, Emacs and Vim is too niche especially for me who is a windows user, and Jetbrains IDEs looks bad for me in Light Theme (Yes, I am a Light theme guy) and it messes up with my Ctrl + Y redo(Though I still tend to use Jetbrains for that last resort code completion).
Once you have learned the keybindings of VSCode, it is such a pleasure to use, but even without it, just the UI itself is easy to navigate, and the bottom terminal minimizes my confusion with my terminals used for opening and killing tasks. -
Bubbles68265y@joshuadapitan Sublimes price is as useless as WinRAR’s price. They don’t force you to pay.

iAmNaN71315yYou can now launch VSC from the Windows Linux Subsystem. That is slick. And it integrates nicely with git.

Atom vs Visual Studio Code
What are you using and why?
I'm currently on Atom and wanna try out VSCode. Having looked at the settings (Holy fu**, are there many of 'em) I feel kind of lost.
