When I said "better", I should have said merely that Sublime's improved, not as a qualitative statement for comparison to others :)

I pretty strictly follow the idea that you pick something that works for you and use it. I happen to be familiar with Sublime, but man, I really like IntelliSense when I'm in SSMS (or when I did Excel VBA hacking - don't judge me!). Honestly, until Sublime Text 2's vast improvement in startup times it wasn't my go-to editor, and oddly it's what kept me off Atom the few times I gave it a cursory whirl (my previous alternative? Notepad++). I have zero doubt Atom will eventually be just as snappy - heck it may even be now; I haven't checked.

That all said, I think the VS Code team is going to eat everyone's lunch within the next few years if no one watches them and keeps up. And my money is everyone does try to keep up and we're left with a new browser war situation where we have lots of ultrahigh quality options!
