Actually, I didn't know there had been a surge to VS Code. I haven't noticed anybody at my work using it except for me. Lots of Atom around, but maybe the winds are changing.
I am just going by my totally unscientific analysis of HN posts lately. Almost any thread talking about Atom updates or announcements seem to be flooded with "Oh, I've switched to VS Code and it is better..." type comments.
As opposed to about 12 months ago when most Sublime or editor threads were peppered with "Have you seen Atom? It's the antz pantz..." stuff.
